There are a LOT more underlying and underpinning factors inherent in the US psyche and society that can be attributed to the issue OTHER than gun laws.

One way or another, man will always find a way to kill another.
Each of your points is true, but they do not in ANY way justify not addressing the absurd gun laws in the US. Are you suggesting that it is a good idea to have easy access to the plethora of guns in the US, particularly with so many underlying social issue? I have no problem with responsible gun ownership, but I do with such ridiculous laws.

These incidents are appalling! We probably can't stop them happening, but we can surely reduce the frequency, and impact on the lives of innocent people. If nothing is done, then it can only get worse - it certainly won't get better!
