The shooting in Arizona was searched and 31 casings of gun shells were found. It said that there was 30 rounds in the magazine of the Glock-19 gun and one was already in the chamber during the shooting. It said that he was trying to reload the gun during the shooting and because of that pause in time he was able to be tackled and the weapon pried from his hands. During the shooting luckily only 6 people were killed but 13 other people were wounded during the shooting. He legally bought the gun at a sportsman wherehouse and later in the day before the shooting bought the bullets.
People would say this is another reason why the government should put out better gun control. This is another shooting that has taken place inside the US but also out of their control. The man was legally purchasing the gun and nobody could have prevented this from happening. Guns are part of the society we live in and most people who do purchase the guns use them for a safe and reasonable cause. It is given with anything the market sells could turn into a weapon, so no matter what if a gun contorl law passes there will always be problems with something else. 
I completely agree with Luc that more gun control would not have prevented the shooting in Arizona. We have many laws regulating guns already, and passing more of them would not have helped. I do think that we need better care for the mentally ill and better ways for parents and school officials to recognize and report possible people who have problems in this area. The shooting is a tragedy, but more restrictions on guns is not the answer.
