Not Sure

I honestly don't have a answer. But I do to some extent blame the media for broadcasting what the shooters wanted. Kids will do anything to get the attention of there parents in these days.

Someone once said



If it bleeds, it leads. unfortunitly the media listened and it's been paying off big for them ever since.

This is my solution, trust me it's nothing anyone will like. It's called responsiability. It amazes me how no 16 year old or troubled youth can purchase a gun, yet when they decide to finally kill the access level is wide open. I think with in reason we need to start charging the gun owners with the murders if their weapons are use in any killings. I don't know how hard it is to secure a weapon and keep it out of reach of idiots, but if you can't do it you're part of the problem.

If I had been there

the carnage may not have been so bad! As ex-military (U.S.Army), and a retired Police Officer, I carry, and have a concieled wepons permit. Earlier this year a similar situation happined at a Mall in Salt Lake City, and an off duty Police Officer that was carrying put the shooter down, thus saving others. Would these shooters pick on soft targets if ten percent of the population was properly trained and had permits to carry?

Are you refering to this one in Ogdan: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17124042/

I agree the off duty officer did a heck of a job and sounds like he was a brave person. However, it's never been determined his gun fired the kill shoot. If not, this would mean the officers wits beat the gun.

Good story Thanks.
