>But, Bill, in a sense, you're entirely correct. If the gun was not there, it would not have happened. In any way you cut it, if you reduce the accessibility of guns in general, the less of these kind of incidents would happen.

enter people capable of reading and building small bombs.

>Personally, it makes my heart puge out to see that people love their guns more than those kids who lost their lives. A real modern society does not need guns, except for military, law enforcement and hunting. There is no reason why (semi) automatic guns should be in use by any other than the military.

agreed. But I prefer the swiss way of teaching grown ups to handle and keep safe low grade military weapons.
And not really an unsafe place to live.

>I appreciate that it is part of the American history and culture, but you'll have to face the fact (and not those fabricated by the gun lobby), that you are not creating a safer society with guns. Of all western countries, the US is the most violent country and widely spread availability of guns has everything to do with this.

too sweeping a statement for me. Having forefathers easily P.O. and melting pot culture with
no clear behavioral rules in place at state level might be part of it as well.
