Disclaimer: I am a resident of Virginia Beach. While the event was indeed a tragedy, nothing that the newly elected legislature has proposed would have stopped the tragedy from unfolding. The guns used in the crime were legally purchased. The perpetrator of the tragedy was an employee of the city that had access to the buildings locked doors with his pass card. According to the independent investigation that was done, nothing in the perpetrators action in the days leading up to the events that day lead anyone to believe that this sort of thing would take place. There were no warning signs or behaviors that would have lead anyone to suspect this sort of tragedy would take place. The entirety of the City Center area is a declared "Gun Free Zone" and we see how that worked out. <br />Guns do not kill people. The hand that wields the gun is the killer. A gun will sit in the same place for ever and rust into a solid mass if a hand does not disturb it. It will never fire on its own.
