Has little to do with the guns, and everything to do with the culture.

Well it wouldn't of happened if there wasn't a gun.......

In China someone else went off the deep end and INJURED 30 or so children with a knife on the same day.

That is the difference that easy access to guns make.

Maybe they should just arm the kiddies, them they'll be safe at school. The stupidity is mind boggling

yes it seems like a massive cycle, the call, "guns don't kill people" cry together with over 300 million guns in private ownership brings a living in fear scenario in the greatest free nations of the world?, I don't get it? ...I feel its just been a massively successful marketing campaign by the gun lobby and manufacturers to sell their product and increase returns for the share holders... If indeed the figures are correct about gun ownership in the USA, then why are people so shocked at the latest tragic shooting? The response in the board rooms of the manufacturers will be a step up the marketing of "defending oneself" and quietly they will be thinking that the victims are just "collateral damage" of liberal gun laws and a chance to increase sales...

They have stated they want to teach the teachers combat skills for these situations

it worked pretty well in Israel, they had a mass killing in a school committed by PLO(?) terrorists in 1974, so they issued 9mm handguns to trained teachers and parents.
I am pretty sure nothing of that scale has happened there since

not ideal- but one solution.

Proposed standard equipment for American primary school teachers



School uniform

What I don't understand is why they need automatic weapons? If they like shooting for sport wouldn't it be more of a sport to shoot a target with one shot? Automatic weapons to my understanding are for people that are rather a bad shot.....or want multiple kills?

Ah the ole outcry against guns every time.

Predictable.

It's not the guns, it's the crazies; why did the mum of this guy even have two semi auto pistols?
And have them in easy acces of her f*kd up kid with aspergers?

Anyway, about the gun thing...

Did you all miss the incident in China where another crazy killed 20 odd kids at a school, with a KNIFE?

Perhaps we should ban knives too?

injured 22, not killed. theres a difference.

read the news.

Oh yeah, like guns aren't part of the American culture. Nope. Definitely not. There is absolutely no connection with this shooting and guns. What do guns have to do with a shooting??? It's the culture, and there are also no guns in American culture. Guns have nothing to do with a shooting nor American culture.

^ ...what the? Who said the crazies can be ignored? Ever?
People are just saying they should have less access to weapons. Weapons that nobody needs. That's all. Seem sensible to you?

Oh... so we'll just fix the crazies? How do you propose that? How long will that take?
In the meantime give them guns.

What a moronic argument. Crazies running around with spoons is only a risk to the crazy and possibly bowls of soup.

Are you suggesting that the US has more crazies than the rest of the world? Isn't that a reason to take all guns away from them?

India and China and Russia all have populations far greater than the US and presumably far more crazy people but their incidence of gun related crime is far less.

The point is the world would be safer with less guns.

There are many other things that would make the world a safer place too, but they don't fall under the category of "gun control".
