It's hard to think that something like this could happen. No amount of gun control will stop the crazy people in this world from doing evil.
I guess we have come to the point that the only thing that could have prevented some of the recent killings is return fire. Pretty sad we have come to this.

The govtt. seems to really want to ban ASSAULT WEAPONS but we have no problem flooding other countries with them so they can protect their children.
What's the differance???? We have more killings in chicago on a weekly basis than Iran and Afghanistan combined .
Where is their logic or am I looking at it in too simlple of terms????????????
The average criminal is a coward one on one that's why they use guns.Give the general population guns and the cowards will think a long time before going after joe average.

Yeah, this thread has gone way off track. I think I'm out. My thoughts and prayers to the families, the officers, and educators that were all affected by this.

 

[Hajisc]

I really feel for the families that were affected by this tragedy but am really tired of the media jumping on this for the sake of their political agenda before the corpses are even cold. If what I'm reading is correct the ar-15 was in the car and not used?????????

Hopefully you will note that every single one of my posts regarding religion is a RESPONSE to a religious argument. Don't be angry when you allow something that is supposedly not allowed on INGO, and people respond in disagreement.

In other words, consider who threw the first punch.

You'd be read'n 'correct'.......perp used 2 handguns stolen from his Mom that he killed earlier. Sig and Glock were .9's......

Should put the brakes on "Anything less than .45 ACP is useless" mentality,hmmm?

You should have sent me a PM, so I will respond here. The first punch thing won't work. This is your warning, too! Also, you should drop this and go back to the thread.

This is the most up to date and best piece I've run across on the shooting, so far. Well worth a few minutes to catch up. I really feel for the teachers in this one. They had to do the best they could with what they had, which was nothing. Very brave.

That pretty much sums it up. Time to put this behind us and move forward.

SPOT ON felluh!

 

[jedi]

So any idea why he killed himself when he did?
Were the police already in the bldg by this time?
Was he close to out of bullets and had the last one for himself?
Not sure if that info has been released or is know yet.

I was in 3 different LGS today in search of specific pieces. This was a hot topic of conversation. Still a lot of miss-info flying around. Still a lot of confusion what would tip someone over the edge like this.

I think that it is a mistake to think that something "tipped him over the edge." This would suggest that any of us could be tipped over the edge and commit such atrocities. He wasn't tipped over the edge. He was undoubtedly mentally ill. You cannot look at this from a sane person's point of view. There is no rationale for slaughtering innocent children.
