There is one aspect of this incident and others like it that is unchangeable--adolescent males are by nature more violent than other segments of human society. That's why sports and other outlets for violence are good, and easy access to weapons is bad. So, many adolescent males are going to react violently to certain situations--this can't be stopped. The nature of the reaction can be controlled though. Restrict access to deadly weapons to these violent males, and when they do decide to commit a violent act, it's a fight in the parking lot, not the murder of thirteen students in their school.
