[quote=FlyerInHi]Without guns he may have been able to kill using others means but there would be no shooting spree.

Sick people who shoot do so for the sensational effects of shooting. Plus there is a copycat effect that begets more shootings.
I’m pretty certain none of this would have happened has Elliot not been able to buy guns.

The second amendment is a separate issue, if you want to argue that random shootings is the price of freedom then all the more power to you. But jazzman made an excellent point re access to guns.[/quote]

Personally, I’d rather be shot than stabbed to death. The sickest of murderers like to use knives or other hand tools because they are closer to their victims when the kill them and can more easily torture them first. To each his own, I guess.

You’re totally wrong, though, about this guy not killing if guns were illegal. Someone who is hell-bent on killing will do so, no matter what kind of gun laws are in place.
