Anyone see the picture of the killer? I would not expect someone like him to do that.
Yeah he doesn't look 20 years old

Only thing banning guns will do to the country is make it more violent.
Ban guns, criminals still get them and nobody has anything to defend themselves.

Why not ban all automatic/semi-automatic guns? That way, if someone goes on a rampage, they won't be able to mow down an entire class in 5 seconds. And an average person will still be able to defend themselves, go hunting, etc.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."


Wanna stop them?

Here's where you start.

That's totally speculative for one thing, and it's kinda useless for another. People are interested in death and violence, so the news emphasizes it. Nothing you can do. Or if there is, it's not this.

And now WBC will be protesting the funerals of primarily 6 year olds.
Can we please just shoot them or something? I don't think anyone would care anymore.
