Another senseless shooting has happened near a college campus.

A student at California State University at Fresno has killed 1 and wounded two at an apartment building near campus, according to the Associated Press. Police are now communicating with the suspected shooter Jonquel Brooks and don't know of a motive.

Let's hope our political leaders take quick action to keeps guns out of the hands of dangerous people. Existing laws have too many loopholes that allow people like Virginia Tech mass murder Seung-Heui Cho to buy their weapons with proper permits.

I know that people have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. Just because I choose not to own guns, doesn't mean I want to stop people from legally purchasing them for hunting or protection. No rights, though, are absolute.

People shouldn't be able to buy as many guns as they want when they want them. They should face a rigorous background check for both criminal and civil actions. No system is foolproof but more checks are needed.

Colleges need to be especially sensitive to these issues. Many mental illnesses manifest themselves when people hit their early 20s. Some students also just can't adjust to college life and require counseling.

People shouldn't come down too harshly on people with these problems because most of them aren't violent. Once they get help, they function just fine.

Unfortunately, this will be far from the last shooting.
