Listen, I realize the guy was nuts, and if he was hellbent on killing some one, he was going to do it.  But seriously regulating guns would make crimes like this harder.  That's a good thing. 

The government sanctioning the power for citizens to have the capacity to enact "point and shoot" death is just bizarre.  The answer may not be enacting swift, broad laws that make guns illegal (though it might be), but it seems to me that continuing to produce guns and ammunition without change seems like a strange strategy to stop this problem.

shut up, cowards.  you hear about massacres involving guns because we have 7 billion people in the world and a media that covers every little deadly incident in the western world as if it held some importance.  your chances of dying by gunfire from a stranger are insignificant.  even debating the issue is a waste of time.

Agree with Dlew.

Also, the news trying to interview every 11 year old leaving the school on TV is pretty sick, imo.

I think it's a whole lot harder. Buying a gun requires you to bring money to a store.

Building a bomb requires you learning how to build the bomb, purchasing materials, actually assembling the bomb, and then working out the logistics of how you are actually going to set it off.

Well once you get past the knowledge part (which I now realize isn't that common) you don't even have to leave your house to make something pretty nasty.  Would take less time than driving to the gun shop and waiting for the paperwork to go through.

I don't remember the last time something upset me this much.  I cannot bring myself to get anything done at work today, just really sad
ditto. if you have young kids, it's impossible not to immediately imagine that was your child that was either shot and killed senselessly or witnessed the horror first hand.

what a sad and tragic world we live in.

I can't think of a reason why principals and teachers shouldn't have guns. Seriously, put a safe in the teachers lounge, give a couple responsible trained people the code, some idiot tries this, Principal runs to safe, hands out guns to teachers.... the guy is done for.

They are probably more likely to get struck by lightning than actually end up in a situation like this. It definitely could happen, though. Pretty scary stuff.

Not kids in a school related but this is why I have a CCL. I'm not going to allow it to happen to me.

Man.  I'm glad my name is not Ryan Lanza today.  Weird that that guy's tweets are all about depression though.

Pretty much.  This perceived apathy that has contaminated our society is a bigger problem than guns, IMO.

Never had a problem with people owning guns (my great grandfather was a gunsmith.) But I don't know how people who see that there are tens of thousands of people shot every year in the country and not think we should talk about starting to lower the amount of guns in this country.

Also, as it seems is the case, this is a cry for a better healthcare system in this country. Sounds like this guy was depressed to the point of near suicide, like more shooters. If he had gotten help this tragedy could've been avoided altogether.

The personality type of the many elementary school teachers I know are the exact wrong type to expect to take up arms against armed intruders.
