I've read the thread and agree that more has to be done -- we've seen four of these types of atrocites in 2012 alone. That's enough of a pattern for me.

The problem is probably more on the mental health side, but it's the guns that escalate the carnage.

So what to do? Personally, I don't think assault-style weapons should be allowed outside the military.

-renew assault weapons ban
-close gun show loopholes
-limit/eliminate high capacity automatic clips.

let's start with that.

I'm not saying I disagree, but what about criminals obtaining weapons on the black market? You can't stop that.

I agree with you. Law enforcement will always have to be on the front lines of this multi-faceted attack.

But logic suggests that some % of black market acquisitions were originally legally purchased (and later stolen, lost, etc.). If we can find ways lessen the numbers of these types of weapons that exist, we lessen the numbers that fall into black market circulation/use.
