Better to be safe than sorry with guns

When it comes to guns, especially AR 15s, it is essential to find out if the buyer and owner has strange or questionable views on gun use. Nikolas Cruz's comments and photographs should have been taken into account, and he should have been forbidden to own guns. The signs of a disturbed mind were apparent, but people clearly looked the other way and failed to take some responsibility when they saw his social media ramblings. There must be much tighter gun controls and vigilance. Anyone suspected of aberrant behaviour should never be allowed to own a gun or fire one without supervision.

Unless there are much stricter gun control measures then we will have more school shootings and mass gun related fatalities. If we don't learn the lessons then history will repeat itself, as it has been doing.

If those under 21 had to be supervised by a responsible adult, and if this was strictly enforced (like  alcohol) when using weapons then I wonder how many lives would have been saved?
