Another day another American gun rampage.

Unfortunately, concerning gun control, you either need to let everyone have guns, or ensure that nobody gets them, otherwise you end up with stupid situations like this. Criminals will always break the law; it's what they do. This is why I believe it's better to let everyone have guns rather than just having the government and criminals with all of them. By all means, put some control over crazy people getting them, but banning them completely whilst they are still in the hands of criminals is a ridiculous idea.

You just controdicted yourself. You said the only thing concerning gun control is that you either give everyone guns or ban them, but if you said you're also in favor of keeping them out of the hands of crazy people. Universal background checks are a form of gun control, something I support. Banning all guns is also a form of gun control, something I don't support.

People are incredibly dumb. They see the words "gun control" and they automatically assume guns are going to be banned. Primative thinking, and one of the reasons universal background checks were not passed in the U.S.. When the universal background check bill went into congress, so many 2nd-amendment-ers went crazy, saying "NOBODY CAN TAKE OUR GUNS" when nobody was planning on taking them in the first place.

In the US, there's only so much you can do. We're a gun-cultured shithole. We're one of the only two countries in the world with the right to bear arms in our constitution, for Christ's sake. Nobody wants to give them up. But Jesus, we have to do something. The current situation is obviously awful. And the idea that we can't do anything except ban them is completely false, and you suggested something yourself three sentences later that we could do aside from banning them all.
