More Gun Stupidity

There were 26 people killed this morning, 18 20 of them children, in the latest school shooting in the USA. Any bets whether the gun was "legal" or not? Does it matter". First reports is the shooter was 20 and was dressed in black. He probably has a back yard full of dead cats that his parents never noticed. There must be a video game about that somewhere. He was dangerous enough without a gun but with one? 26 dead, 18 20 of them children.

I don't own a gun. But then I am a deprived Canadian.

    It's terribly sad. Both guns apparently belonged to the Mother of the shooter. She probably bought the guns for alleged self-protection. Her son used those guns to not only shoot and kill her but the other 26 people as well. Some self-protection.

    And some people think Mexico is dangerous.

    Too bad it wasn't 27 bad guys running dope. Instead, 26 innocent people, babies. I'm just sick by the news. One country lives with "freedom" at the cost of 192 other countries.

    Senseless! I am concerned about copy cat psychopaths who also relish their 15 minutes of fame! Sick world! Just look at the senseless murders being perpetrated in Syria....and we clearly never learn from history either.

    The problem is not guns. We have gun control in Canada and have had our share of these types of shootings. The problem is how alienated and starved for attention these gunmen have felt.

    The problem is likely all of the above as they say. But really, when TV is all stabbing andshot em up and blow em up, add gaming, which is a modern thing where you can blow the hell out of everything, with no consequences, except to restart, what has our sociaty become. I could just as easily kill many poeple and more by driving my car in a school ground or fair, but my mommy and socialty taught me better morels than that. What are we teaching people these days.

    Let's just see how it plays out. You don't know the gunman, his mother, his father or anyone else involved for that matter. We can speculate all we want, but right now let's concentrate on the healing and supporting the parents and grandparents and friends of those who were killed.
    Video games, TV etc. yes it's all violent but usually there's more to this than just that.
