This is an excellent podcast regarding the debate on gun control and discusses the real possible solutions and the BS from both sides. 

 

A few points. There is a big difference in the homicide problem with guns and the mass shootings. The #1 cause of death in the US for kids is guns.

Also the US has had a way bigger amounts of violence than other countries before guns.  It appears research shows that controlling who can get guns is more important than controlling guns.

Texas Public Safety Chief Calls Uvalde Police Response An 'Abject Failure'

 

Quote

McCraw told the Senate committee that Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief, decided to put the lives of officers ahead of the lives of children.

 

The public safety chief began outlining for the committee a series of missed opportunities, communication breakdowns and other mistakes.

 

“It has been reported that he didn’t have a radio with him. That’s true. He did not,” McCraw said of Arredondo.

 

McCraw also said the classroom door could not be locked from the inside.

 

In addition, McCraw said police and sheriff’s radios did not work within the school; only the radios of Border Patrol agents on the scene worked inside the school, and even they did not work perfectly.
