They all needed more guns. That would have solved it. Maybe missile launchers instead. A-bombs?

He either had to be really mad, or nuts.

Things like this just make you wonder, "WHY?"

definitely A-bombs
Nah, those are nothing but little toys from the 40s.

You want Thermonuclear Devices/Hydrogen Bombs.

It's a fusion reaction, like the Sun thing Doc Oc makes in Spiderman 2, except it isn't maintained by some dude with mechanical limbs and would turn everything to dust and ashes, and strike up winds like 3 times faster than a Hurricane.

America has loads of these! Through fire justice is served!

I feel the same way, but was afraid of insensitivity infraction. Glad we're on the same page.

See, if EVERYBODY was allowed to legally carry and use firearms to take the law into their own hands, there would have been fewer people killed in this incident. Maybe it would have prevented this from happening altogether. :)

If EVERYBODY was allowed to legally carry and use firearms...I cannot imagine what would happen. "To take the law into their own hands"? Isn't that the police's job? (thought they suck at it).

I'm just tired of whenever I suggest "Maybe if there was better gun controll" people are all "BUT WITHOUT GUNZ THINGS WULD BE WORSE!"

Guns are instruments of murder. Nothing else. Personally I hate hunting, I can't even think about taking the life of any other living thing. You might say, "Hey, but you eat them and stuff." Well, yeah, I do, it's either that or dying of hunger. Its natural. As natural as a lion eating a gazelle. But mindless killing? It disgusts me.
So yeah, they deserve the bad rep they have.

Gun control wouldn't fix situations like this. If someone is going to murder people, seemingly at random, he will find a weapon, whether acquiring it legally or otherwise, and do what he wants to do. All gun control does is disarm those who are qualified and capable of defending themselves and are responsible enough to understand the implications of using a weapon.

These cases always spur "LET'S BAN GUNS!" but all that will happen is you will either A. unarm the population who follows laws anyway, or B. make outlaws of everyday, law-abiding citizens.

The way to fix problems like this is to find the root cause and stop it at it's source.

I'm not in favor of banning guns, but I think a lot of people who buy guns are the dumb people who think they're some sort of urban warrior who actually believes them owning a gun will help them fight off a mugger or someone else with a gun who wants to kill them, believing for some moment that someone who wants to kill them will wait long enough for them to pull out their own gun.

I think that, in a lot of cases, if someone is going to get murdered it doesn't matter if they own 14 machine guns and are ex-marines, or if they're ten years old and can't lift twenty pounds, and that the best defense is good running shoes. So when things like this come up, I get annoyed at all the "give them more guns" "ban all guns" stuff, because neither would affect anything. Banning all guns would only work if we could actually get rid of illegal guns, which is silly to think that, in America, we could. in Australia/UK, where they're an island? sure. In America? nah. too big, too much open border, too many guns already here.
