Guns: how much longer will it take ....

And did you know that shotguns are used for murder more than rifles are?

Studies of the guns used in homicides show that large caliber revolvers are the most frequent type of gun used in homicides, but the number of large caliber semiautomatic guns used in murders is increasing.

It's sad that the Brits have been so enslaved that they see freedom as a punishment.

Perhaps, if these motivated children had not mistreated thier classmate and driven them to such an extreme, the idiot wouldn't have seen the need to punish the entire school with violent death. Perhaps if someone had eaten lunch with him, or taken an interest in his life or, heaven forbid, been his friend, none of this would have happened.

Don't blame guns. Blame the people that drove the kid to such an extreme event. Blame the very same kids that are now believing they are going to change the world. Had they changed their own behavior, they could have prevented this.

Can you provide a citation for that claim?

But I don't think they (shotguns) would be the ideal choice for a mass murder.

Can you explain this shooter or any other school shooters motivations?

Oh, and 7.4% of the American population have served in the military.

I have to quote this in its pathetic entirety, before it gets deleted. Jeezus, I've just about seen it all — McG is blaming the victims! Real class act!! Great post!!!

It seems that the people fixated on the media-promoted idea that rifles are the bad apple of firearms hasn't even bothered to actually compare statistics that would set them straight.

So it's the handguns now? What do you suggest we do about that?

I believe that your information was from 1995.

Then you must really feel indignant concerning the FBI's dropping of the ball in the lead up to this crime.

Don't blame guns.

Why would it be deleted?

The home of the brave is just fine. A lot of the home of the brave is out and about the world serving and defending the freedoms and safety of the world. Do you deny that?

It's sad that the Brits have been so enslaved that they see freedom as a punishment. Once a proud, self reliant people that are now just kowtowed slaves paying for the use of air and living in rented homes from the landed gentry. Bunch of freaking serfs really.

I think the emphasis and attention has really been on mass killings where so-called assault weapons seem to be the weapon of choice.

Confiscate them, of course!

Damn, I hate it when that happens.

I dare you to come over here and say that to my face.

Why would I feel "indignant"? Other local law enforcement agencies dropped the ball as well. I'm under no illusions as to the likelihood of these crimes ever being completely prevented. Nor do I feel the need to assign "blame" to anyone other than the shooter.

But I've already shown you that knives, clubs, fists, and feet work just fine for people with murder on their mind.

The FBI's role in cases like this is not to investigate, per se, but to forward the information to the Miami office and to local L.E. agencies.

People want to live in a perfect world where assholes are identifiable

Good. Let them work a little harder.
