The left loves to claim correlation is causation so let's look at that with school shootings and gun laws. If correlation is causation then gun laws caused these student on student school shooting which didn't exist in the pre gun law era. Even if you don't buy this you have to at least admit gun laws and school shootings grew together so obviously more laws is not the answer. First the gun laws that was supposed to prevent crime. 1994 – The Brady Law and Assault Weapon Ban The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act imposes a five-day waiting period on the purchase of a handgun and requires that local law enforcement agencies conduct background checks on purchasers of handguns.

That started after the Brady Bill. Gun laws don't save lives.
Notice that the number of school shootings between 94 and 2004 was LESS than after What occurred in those years? The Assault Weapons Ban
You mean these school shootings that occurred during the assault weapons ban? 2002, January 16 - Appalachian School of Law shooting - (3 deaths) 1999, April 20 - Columbine High School massacre - (15 deaths) 1998, May 21 - Thurston High School shooting - (4 deaths) 1998, March 24 - Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden - (5 deaths) 1997, December 1 - Heath High School shooting - (3 deaths) 1996, August 15 - San Diego State University shooting - (3 deaths) 1996, February 2 - Frontier Middle School shooting - (3 deaths) Didn't exactly stop school shootings did it and you ignore the fact that before the Brady bill and the assault weapons ban we had no student on student school shootings at all. At least you are in some way sticking to your correlation is causation stance though even if it's limited to select instances. In the big picture though that means gun laws caused school shootings
