    Another gun, pulling its own trigger. Or has anticipation caused me to be premature in my response?

    People don’t do this with knives because it would be more difficult and less effective.
    Guns make deranged people more successful.

    It’s more of a mental heath issue than a gun issue.

    I have to agree. with John S ,who really if they were in there ( right mind set ) would even think of doing something like this? Where are these shooters coming up with theses ideas schools,now hospitals what’s next ? I think these shooter are very much influenced from the violent video games that are being sold on the market today

    My very first thought as yet another sensless GUN killing happens is that I hope the NRA and Wayne LaPierre are all having a great day, NOT
    I personally hold those jerks responsable for all the deaths due to their ongoing fight to make sure anyone andd everyone can have a gun at their disposal.
