you are right it's not an occasion to talk about guns maybe not but on another hand each time there is something like such a tragic event that it's also unfair to say it's NOT the fault of the free use of guns ... how to be that sure ? it's maybe not the gun use itself but the inner violence that it implies .. to have a gun is to somehow legitimate its use ... period ...and like it was said here it's more difficult to kill so many ppl with a knife or a baseball bat ... when a kid lose his mind and become such a violent killer like that a gun is such a terrible weapon ... we all have our nutcases everywhere who are ready to do such atrocities .... this is why I think that if they didn't have the ability to kill that simply it would spare some lives .... how many ppl die because of lost bullets in the usa ? is that a necessary disorder would it be much more with no legal gun?
