It's unfortunate but it's not uncommon and it's American as American pie. We're a gun crazed country.Originally Posted by Maharlika
What're you talking about? When was the last mass-shooting at an American university?

1 shooting is enough to make one stop and think if guns should be so readily available.
Like I always say: without guns, you wouldn't have innocent bystanders; you just can't have drive-by knifings...no one would ever hit their intended target.

Reports are that he was "asian" and maybe a student.

I imagine he was referring to the now all-too-common occurence of people 'going postal', not necessarily mass shootings at a university. Often its an ex-employee, as we saw last week in Michigan, before that Chicago, etc., etc. Last year was the Nickel Mines Amish school massacre. Wives and girlfriends are constantly being shot by sick-f#@* husbands/boyfriends who usually then kill themselves. Unfortunately these people are quite brave, fearless and resourceful, and would undoubtedly find another way to inflict their destruction if a firearm was not available...
