[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Late to this discussion because gun-control wank tires me, but I thought I'd weigh in on a couple aspects. Kurt, Those countries' gun-death rates you quoted above? What's that boil down to percentage-wise? I mean, the U.S. has a slightly larger population than those other countries. Also, yes, he did use guns that he purchased legally (even though he shouldn't have been able to -- indeed, shouldn't have been released from the hospital after he was discovered to be a "danger to himself or others"). You're missing the larger point, though. He [i]was[/i] looking into other avenues as well. Hd it not been guns, we might have been hearing a month later about the horrific explosions that killed [xx] people on campus that he had hidden and remote-detonated. The point is: he was determined to go out and take as many with him as he could. Laws don't stop that sort of determination. This is also why I despise the fear-tactics the FedGov and TSA employ in our airports. All that "security" won't stop someone determined to hijack/blow up an airliner. Gun control all comes down to responsible parenting, and better identification and treatment of people with miswired brains. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
