I'm sorry for your loss, but semi-automatic handguns, such as the Colt 1911 .45 and Browning Hi-Power 9mm, were invented and used before WWI. They have been in wide circulation since then, along with millions of revolvers that are just as powerful as semi-autos. However, the school shootings we've been seeing have only been occurring over the past few years, when there has been little change in the overall number of guns in the US. To me this implies there's something deeper that needs to be addressed, and that gun control is only a bandaid approach that will not solve our long-term problems.
