stop it

How could you never think "I am planning on killing little children who had nothing to do with [agonizing experience 20 years ago]." How could that never raise a flag, ring a bell, scream in your face, whatever, that something's wrong with you. I can wrap my head around being a disgruntled teen with crap for parents and access to weapons doing

To say it's scary is an understatement. It makes me very worried about people's obvious easy access to weapons (I mean, come on, that guy in the Amish school had 3 guns! and over 600 rounds of ammo!) and also, that 2 of the recent incidences involved letting the men in the room leave but molesting and/or killing unmarried/unmothered/younger women is a terrible testament to how some people in the country are viewing women.

WTF is wrong with people?

I honestly think that the guns are only a small part of it. I mean, you and I both know and love someone who owns several guns (guess who!), and he is serious about gun safety and responsibility. I guess my point is that guns are not the root cause, though they definitely amplified the result. A poor analogy might be a trucker with road rage plowing into a school bus -- it's not the truck that's the issue.

It truly boggles me how thoroughly insane this person must have been to think that he was doing the "right thing" by gunning down a bunch of little kids. I just cannot grok.

Well, I didn't say it's the having of guns that is the problem -- it's the easy access to them that's part of the problem. I doubt the people who initiated the latest attacks went through the proper channels and training to acquire the weapons, as our very good friend did.

And I reiterate -- WTF is wrong with people? I can't understand it either.
