There is EVIL in the world.... This just proves it again....My heart goes out to all the family members of the victims... And I pity the family of the shooter.... One time I was asked a question in a poll.... Would you want your son to be the killer or be killed.... Either one is unthinkable but I said be killed.... As for the people in this thread trying to turn a tragedy into a political issue all I can say is maybe someday you will grow up... Although I doubt it....
I was talking with my 22 year old daughter yesterday and said the exact same thing. We were talking in the car about it and I said that the guy that shot the people probably has a mental issue. So, instead of talking about gun control, lets talk about how so many people in our world have mental illnesses that until they shoot a whole bunch of people we don't want to deal with? Yes he is the most hated person in the world but I know families that have adult children with mental illnesses are always worried about them. Are they taking their meds, are the okay, have they had a psychotic break?
I agree with Russ, I would not want to be the parent of a person who killed a bunch of people because although he was an adult their lives are ruined. They will get hate mail, calls and be harassed by the media to see if they could have done something too prevent it.
I also know that gun control won't solve the issue, although it will help. How many people who really want to kill (ie gang members) will get guns? Don't you watch TV and see how people are able to buy illegal guns for a sum? Even with stricter gun laws this guy stilll would have been able to buy a gun - he had nothing in his history to prevent it.
