So apparently twenty seven people were gunned down, twenty or so of them being children.
And of course, I'm sitting here wondering why the hell guns are still legal if they constantly cause s**t like this. It doesn't make any sense.
And then everybody else is like "Think of the families".
confused
Feels like I look for a solution long before thinking in depth about the problem.

Because people that care about the law would go kill twenty children.

People who live in a country with sensible laws don't have the means to go kill twenty children.

You can kill people with anything, with varying degrees of inefficiency.

The less efficient the weapon is for killing large masses, the easier it may be to reduce the number of casualties. Also: The American media really help these guys who would do anything to get a little attention.

CH0Z0 You can kill people with anything, with varying degrees of inefficiency. Yes, but it takes talent to incite mass slaughter with a pillow. Or even a shiv. Hell, it'd take talent to do so with a bow. Not so much with other instruments...

Yeah you can kill anyone with anything given the opportunity. In this case there's an almost unrestricted availability of guns everywhere and as long as it's a delicious source of money, s**t won't stop, rah.

Even if you may not suffocate every member with a pillow, you'd still be directly responsible the death of a bunch of suckers in seek of spiritual/social guidance from anyone/anything.

I think it's more of the actual person being the problem. If everyone in the world owned a gun, the people with morals would choose not to murder people, because they have common sense.

Escther I think it's more of the actual person being the problem. If everyone in the world owned a gun, the people with morals would choose not to murder people, because they have common sense. And the people without would choose otherwise, thereafter getting shot themselves. Then the moral person would note the amoral person gunning down another human being and take it upon his or herself to gun said person down. Only to be looked upon by a third, aware only that two gunshots had gone off, two people were dead, and one person obviously has just fired. Cue chain reaction, panic, and quite a bit of lead. Amoral people aren't the only ones who should have a firearm. People who get angry, believe in retribution, are prone to panic(which is almost everyone) and so on aren't the right type of people to hold one. 'Course, good luck differentiating between 'em all.

The dingbats who decide the shoot most likely would find a way to illegally obtain a weapon if there was such a ban, though, which is also a problem :<

Every day that guns are easy to obtain is one more day's worth of guns that need to be removed. It's a problem that's really only going to get larger until something's done about it. But before that? We need to actually set forth to do something about it.

Divine_Malevolence People who live in a country with sensible laws don't have the means to go kill twenty children. I think it was the same day that a man in China went to a school and stabbed about twenty children.

alot of my friends got upset at me because this was/is my perspective of this tragedy: yes it was terrible and people who had their life ahead of them, including the kids, died. My friends say how could something like this happen? To me, its really not that stunning. Human beings are capable of many things (pretty much proven with how much we have industrialized in the last decade). Sadly, it won't be the last time an event like this occurs so we just have to hope that it won't be as brutal as this time. That's just my perspective and i respect any other perspectives of this crime.
