OK..........here we go again. Now suppose this young man didn't have the shotgun available, so instead he went and got some fertilizer and kerosene, and used to easily available information and blew up the school. Would that have been different because it wasn't a gun? And does the fact that the gun was illegally obtained have a bearing? The fact is that none of this stuff is an argument for against gun control, except for those whose agenda it is to get rid of them. It is a compelling argument for dealing with the hopelessness of the young in a world that seems to be losing its compassion for them at a breakneck speed. Instead of focusing on the tools, focus on the reason for using them. Find the answer and you won't have Palestinian teens blowing themselves up, German kids killing schoolmates and teachers, and Colorado teens slaughtering indiscriminately.
