Id bet he planned all this 'massacre' stuff out with his brother like columbine then bailed on the plan once it came time to pull triggers or the police showed up. There is enough conjecture in the media please don't add to it. |

The POTUS has been on the record as a gun control advocate in the days before he was actively in politics. Its established fact. Now, anyone with a shred of decency can have significant empathy for the people directly involved in this. However, I don't pay politicians to empathize. I pay them to cold-bloodily analyze the data and come to conclusions, to be turned into policy. Politics as group therapy writ large is a bad idea. |

I have a cousin with Aspergers. He would hurt small animals, masturbate in class(spec ed), and had to be locked in his room at night so he would turn he stove gas on. Chased his sister with knives, beat up his little brother. If Rain Man was evil.

Gun laws merely prevent law abiding people from protecting themselves and people around them. This type of evil is why I have carried for as long as I can remember. I expect this to be more common place as the stresses in our society manifest in those unable to handle the pace / stress of modern day life. When we have a crappy economy...the chances of this happening increase dramatically. I expect more and more of these events to occur sadly. No gun law will prevent this from happening. The only thing that will prevent events like this from happening is people becoming fed up, and putting an end to these themselves. How sad it is that our schools and other areas that are "gun free" have become shooting attractions for evil people with captive victims. Prayers out to all so true |

That's precisely why we now have a 24/7 news cycle. Given that dynamic, much of the preliminary info we see is going to be false. It's the price we pay for wanting to know everything now, now, now. |
