The gun control argument stops now. I know it's fun to argue about it in the heat of the tragedy when you can get all worked up about it but it's pretty disrespectful and if you don't care enough about the issue to make a separate topic for gun control then you don't care enough to shit on the tragedy by exploiting it. A gun control topic can be found here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=313472 Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt. | ||

That may be, but we increase the odds that some component of what is supposed to be a thorough screening system catches these sorts of plots in vitro, and making guns even marginally more difficult to acquire would help. Clearly, as fruscainte and JD point out in the last page, more than mere gun access is at work here, but it is certainly a component that needs to revisiting. | ||

I have always been on the side of sending my kids to public schools, but now that I have one I can't imagine doing so with the amount of shootings that are happening. I can't even comprehend the situation for the parents and families. My prayers are with them. The media coverage in a nation of 300,000,000+ people is warping your perception in my opinion. The kids are still far more likely to die on the drive to school than in a shooting. | ||

Everywhere sells ammunition including country gas stations. As for automatic weapons it's an expensive and lengthy process involving federal bureaus. | ||

Just shot guns and rifles, including the fully automatic rifles that should *only* be in the hands of a soldier on a warfield. I just don't understand what the practical application is for a military grade assault rifle in the hands of Bob the mechanic. What is he going to use it for? Personal protection? Against what, the Hulk? | ||

After yet another failure of gun control I hope America can fix their laws to prevent more tragedies such as this  | ||

An automatic weapon fires whatever cartridge it is chambered for. There are handguns that fire 9mm and fully automatic weapons that fire 9mm. Getting a legal automatic weapon is extremely expensive, but you can order whatever ammo off the internet, which is usually a good idea because bulk pricing is pretty good.

You're probably thinking of semi auto rifles. Department stores don't sell full auto weapons. | ||

Yeah, these threads should just be banned. Too many uninformed people show up in droves spouting bullshit. It's already starting with people claiming you can buy automatic weapons from department stores. lol. | ||

Well... if the root of the problem isn't actually gun control then you have even more difficult problems to tackle, like the possibility of mental health issues, glorification of violence and media coverage feeding frenzies on shootings, and apathy or antipathy for other human beings that's more endemic in the US than other countries. Things that might cause us to look at ourselves and the people who deal with and whom society models after. Because school shootings are much more frequent in the US as a phenomenon than other countries, even ones with rampant violence and corruption in the government and media such as Mexico, Columbia, Liberia, and so forth. There are more shootings that occur in the US specific to schools than the rest of the world combined multiple times over, and I would hardly classify the US as an impoverished or unprivileged country where you expect this to happen. So what is the actual problem? | ||
