The availability of the weapon is what causes it. You can be as off the wall as you like but all you will have is the fist and feet. If a knife is available you could kill and wound one or two. If a gun is available you can kill and wound as many people as you have the ammunition.
Gun control works!!! Time that Charlton Heston stopped making the killing machines easy to get hold of and use. Keep guns but keep them under tight control – you know it makes sense!!!!

OK, guns may not kill people, but they sure do make it very easy. I agree with the concept of separation from violence you’ve mentioned.
Some people here seemed kind of irrational – how easy do you think it would be to kill a group of 30 people with a baseball bat? How easy would it be for one person to kill a group of people by pushing them out the window?
As for the bombs, come on… Making a bomb is rather difficult and certainly can’t be done in the heat of passion. However, any kid who can get a hold of a gun can do a lot of damage very easily.
What if it had been a group of kids wanting to kill? Think of the damage that could have been done.
Do Americans really feel any safer with all these guns? Right across the border (in Canada) they have a very similar culture with few guns and this kind of thing is almost unheard of.
I think it is really sad that something happens, as it did today, & instead of looking at what we need to do to prevent this in the future so many people are immediately jumping up & defending their personal right to own a gun.
Surely a little more regulation, at the very least, i.e. gun licensing and regulations how guns are stored, is worth it for a few less innocent deaths?

guns dont kill people, bullets do. lets get that strait first. killing someone is killing someone, it is the intent of a person that is the sorce of the killing. I am one for capital punishment for the killers, basicaly lock them in a room with the families ( no guns alowd) if killing needs more blood to be real, but dont limit my ability to defend myself when it is obvious that the law cant protect me.

translations aren’t always great. take, for example, a knife made in Korea with a label that says “Warning! Keep out of children!”

I’m not sure. I’ve found a couple of listings of ’stainless stell’ items under a google search, but they all look like spelling errors or bad translations. One even lists an item as stainless stell, but the web address is stainless steel. I think your knife may have been manufactured overseas & they didn’t have a good translation. I can find no definition of stell anywhere & it shows up as an error in spell checker.

-From the 1999 school year to 2006 106 students have died ether in or on the way to school from guns shots according to National School Safety security Services. That’s fewer dead than school aged children that died bicycling in 2005. It is a one to nine rate compared to child deaths from lighting.
-Like road rage of the previous decade, the threat of guns in school is exaggerated in the public mind. Mass shooting are a terrible thing, but very rare.
-Guns are used in most homicides. The effectiveness of both tightening and loosening gun control can be debated. I find the easy that semi-automatic weapons, the majority of all firearms in the US, can be used in mass killings is a negligible factor in this debate.

No it’s not true that guns don’t kill people. Every person who has trained with guns knows that every human body has a kill zone. This guy knew the kill zones, if not he would have never killed 31 people. Automatic weapons won’t make it easier unless he is a trained person.
Also, don’t compare real life to video games. It’s been proven they have nothing to do with violence.

As long as people keep asking the same question over and over, I’m just going to re-post my answer….
why do people always pick out a bad incident to make it took bad for all…..
I think they should outlaw all knives since people keep getting stabbed. I mean the knife must be bad.
Outlaw alcohol too, as it kills more and destroys more families than guns do every year.
Obesity is killing more and more people, therefore we must outlaw food.
Freedom of speech is only dependent on who you are. Some people can have it some cant.
The Internet promotes ignorance…just look at the Q&As. Down with the Internet.
Lets just take all the freedoms away……
