It's unfortunate that things happen the way the do, sometimes. However there's nothing we can do. Why are we posting like this?

In a way i think the problem is the NEWS... Hear me out, the main reason these kids do this, is because somehow they feel left out, or were made fun off, or didn't get enough attention. These kids have some real issues with their self esteem and feel left out. So in oirder for them to get the attention that they think they deserved, they need to do something BIG, and they know that the news are going to report it all over the world. SO they just follow what others have done to get the attention they seek.
I just think the school should be guarded by local police, not by some FAT SECURITY GUY who is there making $15 an hour, who can care less what you do, as long as you dont get him involved. |

This is really sad to see happen time and time again. I just don't understand how low these kids must be to not only feel like they want to die, but that they feel that others need to die with them.
My heartfelt sympathies go out to these kids and their families. As far as banning firearms. It's a ridiculous thought, as the black-market is always open and fully stocked. The most innocent person you may think does no wrong can probably get whatever he/she wants at any time. Just as drugs are easy to come-by in high school, so are weapons of all kinds. In high school I could have gotten fully auto weapons, sawed-offs, etc. I think most of us probably could have, whether you knew it or not. It's politcal correctness that's killing our society more than anything. Life isn't fair, and babying everyone who isn't as smart or as good at socializing as others is life. Dumbing down the ones who get along just fine makes things worse. Just my $0.02. |

from MSNBC "10 Myths about School Shootings":
"Myth No. 8. “He’d never touched a gun.” Most attackers had access to weapons, and had used them prior to the attack. Most of the attackers acquired their guns from home." Teaching Point: Keep your guns away from your kids. Don't trust them. Note: info for article "compiled by MSNBC.com from a 2002 study by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education" |

According to MSNBC, he stopped taking his pills. And purchased the guns just a week ago. So, every psycho can easily get guns and use them instead of the pills. What a nice world!
BAN FIREARMS! or put much stricter controls on their sales. If guns can be sold, then all illegal drugs should become legal too. Morphine can be used to treat pain, extasy can help in family counseling, etc. Not all people will abuse narcotics! Same stupid logic. |

But still someone should of known him or his parents should of known he was taking anit depressants ect.
I am all for gun laws that prevent folks taking certain medication from owning them.. But does that mean they cant drive a car or own a knife? Two object that are far more dangerous than a gun. And again if lawful citizens were allowed to carry on school grounds (remember you have to be 21 to own a handgun or carry concealed) people would be more deterred to attack at school, plus someone could stop it. A few years back 2 graduate students stopped a school shooting since they were carrying concealed at the time, but only a few states allow carry on campus and it needs to change. |

I'm sorry, but do you realize what you just said?
It amazes me how people can generalize how "ignorant", and "stupid" the USA and it's occupants are. There are stupid people everywhere and you've just proved that, wherever you are*. I know that sounds harsh, as you obviously just made a small mistake, but really now... If you're going to preach that an entire country is full of retards, at least make sense when you're doing it. *EDIT: Canada, apparently.

i haven't made up my mind about banning guns or leaving them legal, but i have a question to gun supporters. how many gun owners have actually had to use their gun to save themselves from a bad situation?
i know my parents, and uncles are major gun owners, but never once have they actually used their gun for self protection. it's like the guns are just sitting there for that one day in their lives where it might be useful. |

I can say this, though: Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Why wouldn't you have one just to have locked up for some specific occasion where you may need it to save your life or the life of another? I don't see a downside to it as long as it is kept in a secure location, and you are a mentally stable person. They may never use it, yes, but don't you have one or two things laying around that you'll more than likely never use, but can't seem to bring yourself get rid of just in case? Maybe that's just me...

in canada, the laws are so strict that you pretty much have to be dead before you can shoot someone trying to do you harm. otherwise the criminal will sue you, and the gov't will sue you. that's what i uncovered when i tried to get a licence up here to own a handgun. not worth it. |

The thing is guns are currently in most states not legal to carry on campus. Less than a handful of states allow carry on campus. |

Not so surprising when you realize that there are more gun shops in america than there are petrol stations... ..
