Gun Violence

In a story on a shooting, I would mainly focus on the shooter. With my focus on the shooter, I would investigate the events leading up to the shooting. Did the shooter have mental issues? Did the shooter have a significant events that led him to the point of a shooting? What were his motives?
If I had been covering the story on Unruh, I would have done further investigation on his military services. Was there a significant event that made him feel a need to kill people? Did he have an injury that led to the dysfunction of his brain?
Referring to the commercial and article Mayors Against Illegal Guns, I believe it's important to retrieve everyone's feelings on a shooting. The mother speaking of her dead child is significant because she adds an important layer to the story, that being emotion.
My opinion on guns, is not that we should take them away, but that we should have different regulations. It shouldn't be as easy at it is to get a gun.
