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 can argue gun control, but that doesn't address the true and real problem. Incidents like today's would happen with or without guns. Sure, the body count would be lower, but an incident would have still happened.Is this not preferable?
I live in Australia. According to Wikipedia there have only been two recorded shootings at schools here (which were both Universities).
The idea that gun control is the only method is dangerous. At least to the rights that US citizens have become accustomed.
But, that isn't exactly what I've been going on about. Its the incidents I am concerned with. For whatever reason, people have been snapping with a much greater frequency than in the past. Sure, a bad economy has some to do with it, but the trend started under a great economy.
What happened to us here in the States? From everything I've looked at, the type of person who does this sort of crime is the alienated loner.
Well, we can fix that. I don't know why I am being pushed back on so hard, as I am not saying to take anything away. I'm not saying to limit the 2nd Amendment. I'm not saying to jail anyone, or put everyone through a psychological screening to find these psychos before they strike. No, I am saying for everyone to take a minute and make a human connection, so there is less alienation, and less loners.
That simple.
