Is this a gun control issue???

The two wounded guard members have been named as Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24. Both are members of the West Virginia national guard and are listed in critical condition.
They had both been sworn into service less than 24 hours before they were ambushed at a bus stop by the suspect.
Beckstroms father told the New York Times in a phone call that his daughter was unlikely to recover. Im holding her hand right now, Gary Beckstrom said. She has a mortal wound. Its not going to be a recovery.
A man reached at the family home of Wolfe, told a reporter at the outlet: All we need right now are prayers for my son.
Jeanine Pirro, US attorney for Washington DC, said at a news conference Thursday that the suspect had used a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver, shooting one guard member twice before turning to fire at the second.
