Federal gun control laws in the U.S. have been overturned or left to languish since 2004, yet shooting sprees seem to be increasing. Who wasn't touched as we witnessed the aftermath of the recent massacre in Oslo? That act brought instant memories of the young girl who died when another gunman attempted to shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., in January and ended up killing six. Other shootings too numerous to mention take place around the U.S. every single day. This raises the question, whatever happened to gun control?
