America is #1... in school shootings

I just read this, and it blew my mind... there have been ninety-five (95) school shootings since the massacre at Sandy Hook, two years ago.

My understanding is that this is the result of there not being enough guns in society... if there were more guns, there would be fewer shootings. I think that reasoning is beyond question, don't you?
 
No talk of types of weapons. I bet it's mostly handguns. People focused on types of guns after Sandy Hook and specifically the wrong types of guns.

...and the 3D printed gun idea hasn't gone away just because we quit talking about it. Looks like you can print a working gun for $25 now.

darn those 3D printed guns, they're the scourge of society. In fact, they will probably result in the end of society as we know it... there is no conceivable way possible to enforce law and order now, everybody will be printing guns and shooting whoever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want.

I don't see them playing a big role in a nation with 300 million guns already out there. I'm more interested/concerned about how they might impact places like Japan, Australia, or England. Based on that, they could stretch the boundaries of what's possible/practical in a way that might pressure us to tweak our own laws.

But regardless of the actual scale of the problem they represent, the 1st time there's a murder or suicide using a 3D printed weapon, think of the fear mongering potential and what types of things people might proposed to crack down on it.

Being the quickest draw will no longer be any advantage... That will go to the man with the faster printer.
