What do you guys think about concealed carry?

The high school thing is a total differet issue.You are talking about kids. Kids who's parents FAILED them In all area's. No don't blame the parents blame the guns so easy. So comparing kids and adults is not a good comparision. Legal gun owners do not do drive bys. or gun down people in front off liquor stores,or go to the local high school and do the unthinkable.

Dude the fact is if the guns were not freely available nobody would be gunning down anybody.

thats one way of looking at it, but to be honest it fails to address to true 'root' of the problem

why were they gunning people down in the first place?

referring back to the whole highschool shooting, it doesnt come down to placing the blame on the firearms it comes down to placing the blame on the household

the parents obviously went wrong somewhere in raising them...whether they were alcoholics, drug addicts, hostile towards their children, neglect whatever it may be

and for a kid to be able to gain access to his parents firearms that easy blantantly SHOWS the lack of responsible parenting--they shoulda been locked up!

OK so given that it is absolutely inevitable that in any society, be it due to parents, environmental factors, social influences, drugs or whatever, some kids/people are going to turn out "bad" (for want of a better term) and be more likely to commit these types of crimes does it not make sense to make it as unlikely as we possibly can for a gun to fall into their hands?

You say people blame guns and say it's not the guns fault as if you're worried about the gun's feelings being hurt, guns have no intentions - good or bad - but they are very dangerous and the fewer there are in circulation the better - virtually all modern thinking societies agree but the US will not let go of it's antiquated wild west ideals.
