What a tragedy. Should stricter gun control laws be implemented to prevent such incidents?

  No, stricter gun control laws wont prevent tragedies. Criminals dont follow laws. We need to focus on addressing mental health issues and improving security measures. Lets not punish law-abiding citizens for the actions of criminals.

  Stricter security measures could have helped, but ultimately tragedies cant always be prevented. We cant live in a constant state of fear and surveillance. Its about finding a balance between safety and freedom.
