It involved bombs.

3 bombs killed 38 elementary school children in 1927.

Do people really think that gun control will stop this?

What we have in place now clearly isn't working.

Answer the question. Do you think gun control can stop this?

Just because what we're doing isn't working doesn't mean you have a knee jerk reaction and do something else that won't work. The problem isn't guns. It's the people using the guns. THAT is the issue that needs to be addressed. Until you address that, you fix nothing.

This is what you are referring to: Bath School disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now it is harder to obtain explosives.

There is numerous things that can easily be obtained to kill a whole lot of people and it doesn't necessarily have to be used to build an explosive either. If someone wants to kill a whole lot of people they only need the will.

Not really. Take it from a former chemical engineer there are ways besides bombs and bombs you can build where you would not even arouse suspicion collecting the materials. I refuse to go into details here, for obvious reasons but I know my chemistry and physics.

Just look at terrorists in the Middle East. IEDS have been pretty effective in killing people overseas.

I don't think most people in the U.S. would know how to make an IED.
