Then you should get rid of guns altogether, thereby putting everyone on the same playing field.
Or, you can accept that every so often, some idiot gets tons of guns and ammo because the local gun dealer thinks everyone should own a gun and therefore doesn't do extensive background checks... like the dealer who sold the guns to VT shooter... who also sold the guns to the NIU shooter...
Personally, I accept the fact that this doesn't happen so often, and think that's what everyone else should start to realize. My only suggestions are to find a way to make getting a gun far more difficult, or accept that these things are a rarity... not put guns in the hands of every single college student, as if to say it will prevent violence when you're giving people the means to commit violence.
How do you propose that you "get rid of guns altogether"? While law-abiding citizens may turn theirs in, what would make a criminal dispose of their gun? In a perfect world, no guns would exist and none would be needed. But while mankind seeks to harm others, there will always be, and will always be a need for, guns.
