It's tragic what happened. You want to what's scary about it? There was no way to really prevent it. People talk about gun control and strict penalties, but the truth is banning guns or longer jail sentences doesn't actually solve the problem. Whoever this guy is, he was messed up. Even if we lived in a country where all guns were banned, that doesn't mean people aren't going to be messed up in the head. That doesn't mean they won't find some kind of outlet for their problems. Take the school shootings as an example. Whether someone is born abnormal or they develop that way, teenagers naturally have messed up minds and high school unfortunately is a breeding ground for unstable kids. So, even if the Columbine kids didn't have access to guns, they would have killed somebody, somehow since they saw it as the only solution to their problems.
So instead of talking about the gun situation in America or the judicial system, people need to stop and ask "Why do people do these things and how can we help them or possibly prevent them from carrying out violent acts?"
