You're all wrong. The goths are to blame. Hehe.
I heard about the school shootings too. I chose to get late for work today to read through the whole article on todays newspaper. What a huge tragedy... it's horrific. 33 dead and some 20 people wounded, aye? I also read the uni was in a quiet country-side enviorment. Noone expected this thing to happen.
I wanna ask the same question as QueenBee; Why do these things only happen in the US?

I don't think it's the "guns" that are the problem. And isn't it so that most of the school shootings so far has happened in states that actually already have big laws for gun control? Don't get me wrong; as a pascifist I'm all against guns, and I'm happy to have grown up in a country where guns aren't usually kept in the home... but you can't blame guns for this. It's not guns killing people, it's people killing people. It's the people you have to change. Look at Canada. Aren't there more guns there per person than in the US? I can't say I've heard of any school shootings there.
I just don't think you can go around and pass laws that limits people and think that will fix the problem. I bet most people that have a gun haven't ever used it for anything bad. Heck, they might've not even used it. But they sure won't like it if you take it away from them. No, I don't think that's the way to attack this problem. And no, I have no answers. This is a complex matter with no quick answers, I'm afraid...
