You only need about 25 bucks and know someone who does drugs to get a handgun.

Actually less then 25 bucks if you don't care if the gun has a crime on it already.

Which if you are going to shoot up a school....

I'm not arguing about the general ease of acquiring a gun. I'm talking about individual cases. You're being way too rigid with this topic. You are clearly making it seem like anyone who would shoot up a school would have the desire to do anything to get it done. Not everyone will be the same. My argument is not about what would yield the best results in terms of numbers and statistics.

I mean... I guess yeah that's the point of difference, I don't see there being any "Casual" school shooters.

I feel like when you get to the point of "I want to murder a bunch of people at my school."

You've entered a phase where a 5 minute phone call isn't that much of a hassle.

 

In general, of the mass shooters that we've caught alive, they've tend to be planned or thought about for some time, with some level of prep... often MONTHS of planning.

Though the amount we catch alive are limited, outside the "Jihadist for a cause type" political type,

 

The psycological  profile seems to be... well very similar.  They plan out their rampages well in advance.... etc. 

EDIT: Here's a good article on it.  http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303309504579181702252120052

 

I mean, MAYBE you'd get 1 person over the course of a decade who doesn't fit the profile?   It's such a small group though, i wouldn't bet on it.

The current rash of mass shootings seems to be caused by the reporting on the rash of mass shootings.

 

What might of really stopped in in Australia for good, was just how terrible it was.  That it had a 9/11 type effect, that made it so that people in australia no longer looked up to making THAT kind of statement.
