the thing that saddens me is that in recent memory we've had
The Arizona shooting
Aurora Theater shotting
2 mall shootings
and now this

and yet no real talk about gun control/ban WTF!?

Where was the two mall shootings and when?  The oregan mall and what was the other?

I remember two mall shootings this year as well...also cant forget about what happened on the day The Dark Knight Rises came out.....

The theatre shooting is the one that really got people's attention on gun laws right now.  I dont think they will ever be able to successfully ban guns because they will be easy to obtain since so many people already own them. All I know is people can be screwed up.

NBC interview: 20 mass-shootings in the US on average every year.

AP: Suspect used .223 caliber rifle. This is a picture of a .223 rifle.

lol. so is this. and guess what they shoot exactly the same. and the.223 round is a very underpowered round. its typically not used in hunting very often because its note powerful enough to take down animals effectively. also our military memmbers constantly complain about it too because it doesnt have much stopping power.

Looks like it can deal with a school full of young kids just fine. Gun culture is disgusting. 

 

CBS reports that the shooter's mother was a teacher at the school, and is among the dead.

crime culture is worse. even worse than that, is the guy who did it.

 

also though its doesnt make a difference, i have heard it was 2 handguns, i have yet to hear any rifle being involved. it doesnt make a difference in the end, 26 or so people are dead, 18 parents wont ever get to see their child again. this is a horrible tradgedy and the first thing you do, is talk about how we need to ban guns, as if that was what commited the crime. it could have been a homemade bomb, a sword, he could have lit people on fire. it matters not, the tool he used, it it matter what he did. and he took the lives of 27 people.

crime culture is disgusting. crime is disgusting. murder is disgusting. this guy is disgusting.
