I think I have to agree with HD to a certain extent on this one. It appears this country is headed down a road we may not be able to turn back on. I know all of these type of shootings can be dissected after the fact. In this instance, it appears this kid had some serious mental issues. At the same time if his mother did not have the guns in her home, he was probably not the type of kid that would have been able obtain them otherwise. It will be interesting to find out how/where she had them secured in the home and if he had access to them. She obviously knew he had some problems and should have had the weapons secured. I do not believe more laws will curb the violence we are seeing these days. We do not enforce the laws we have and if we do, we do not punish for them. Hopefully our leaders will see that there needs to be change, but that change needs to be in identifying and treating our mentally ill.

Well guess what, today Obama and his likes are still talking about assault weapons, ammo, and mags. Even thought they are not near the top of the list of what gun is used for homicide he will focus still on the assault weapon. If he cannot see the truth about what gun is the most used tool of the trade how can he get anything else right? If we cannot trust him to look at simple data, how can we trust him to go after the real problem, mental health? Answer??? we can't. All he is doing is spuring the economy by helping gun and ammo sales.

I have just seen pictures of the victims, it really brings home the tragedy of what took place, life cut so short and the pain for the relatives left behind.
Brought home the same feelings when it happened in the UK.
