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

Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt.

When I first read the story I saw two killed. Still a tragedy, but when I saw 27.. just damn.

I just don't get it.

There are far more drugged up people with zero prospects in the world than the American population, but why does it happen with higher frequency in the US?

Don't worry, I expect the NRA and fellow gun folk will again loudly yell against anyone who even mentions the possibility that gun control laxity played a role in this amongst others acts of fatal violence. I do wonder how mainstay these sorts of shootings will have to become before public opinion starts to change. And before the requisite "You so stupid, how would taking away guns fix this?" pops up, it's not about "taking away guns", it's about making them more difficult to acquire, because the fact of the matter is that getting guns in the states is incredibly simple and far too easy. My thoughts go out to the families, this sucks.


Does Walmart actually sell ammunition for fully automatic machine guns? Or is that just some strange rumour I heard?


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

In theory, it is. In practice, not so much. If you do not believe me, check out this site. Just check out the "equipment exchange" and revel in all of the automatic and semi-automatic weapons being offered. One can literally buy a machine gun directly from another person and have it sent to a local gun shop for pickup without the involvement of a single federal agency. A friend of mine did just that. And if you happen to live in a state with gun shows, just ask a vendor what he's got behind the display. It really is that easy.


You cannot buy a automatic firearm without going through the legal process for it. It takes time to process the request and investigation on you by the ATF after that you must do paperwork with the local law enforcement. There is NO WAY you can legally purchase an auto weapon without going through the ATF it's simply impossible. If anyone is telling you they got a fully auto without federal involvement they are either lying or purchased illegaly.


Illegal purchases are very common. There is so little regulation that there's essentially no risk in doing so.


I seriously doubt it's very common for licensed gun dealers to sell automatic weapons illegally. Do you understand the risks to their business and the criminal penalties for doing such a thing? There is actually very high risks, automatic weapons are different than other firearms because they are all registered with the government and are traceable unlike non auto weapons in most states.

People don't need drugs to be insane. It's scarier to think that a person could just do that but scapegoating drugs isn't the answer.

27 dead, 18 children i have heard. OUCH (Source:SKY News)

20year old arrested and in custody, atleast in American he will get the death penalty and will be dead in a year or so after the trial. If this happened in England the guy would get a prison cell for 30years and the ability to play xbox and watch tv...

Do you really think gun laws would have stopped him from killing children? Obviously not. Gun control wont stop criminals like this from acquiring firearms, it will just prevent honest citizens from protecting themselves from these criminals.

It wasn't a kid, it was a full grown man who went to a school to do his shooting. The media attention these events get probably helped in that decision to be honest although 27 adults dying would still be a tragedy.

One day, US will probably have to look at the problem with objectivity and seriously. As many has said, its not normal for one of the world's richest country to have this crimes happening so often (more often than elsewhere)

Controlling guns could probably help, but I highly doubt it will erase the problem alone. As many have said it, making it hard to acquire guns won't stop those who really want one from getting one through black market, but it will make his life harder, which is a plus. Instead of being mad and going to his drawer to get his gun, we can only hope that the long processus in acquiring a gun will cool down his anger, or make him think.

I personally think the problem is much bigger, probably has something to do with culture, or lack of help to the men and women with psychological needs, dunno.

Kwark, I cannot report posts yet, but could you please moderate this thread harshly? People are already arguing gun control, americentrizism etc.

Seriously the dead bodies are not even cold and people already climb on their backs to argue their respective agenda. Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth..
