Goh used to kill students at Oikos University. Even some of the most ardent gun control advocates believe that's the case. "It wasn't a failure of laws," said Amanda Wilcox, who along with her husband, Nick, lobbies for the California chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "I just don't see how our gun laws could have stopped something like that."
