As flu mentioned above, you seem to be missing the fact that 50% of the victims were STABBED to death.

If you’re gonna have a crazy approach you, which would have the crazy armed with – a gun or a knife?
It is easier to approach and disarm someone with a knife than with a gun. With a gun, you can be murdered from a distance with no opportunity to defend yourself.
I’m glad to see most people on here at least agreeing that this likely wasn’t a parenting problem as much as mental illness. As flu said, mental illness is hard to diagnose, and it’s even harder to determine which of the MI will snap. It’s just the way it is and always will be.
And of course this leads to the subject of guns.
The left and the right are very prone to making very broad statements to justify their positions.
The right: there should be no regulations on guns because of the “right to bear arms” clause. Well okay, if that’s the way you’re going to interpret that, why aren’t you upset that normal citizens can’t possess nuclear weapons and land mines? They are certainly “arms”.
The left is just as guilty by equating “global warming” with carbon dioxide emissions. Not one and the same, and a broad overgeneralization. The earth has warmed and cooled repeatedly for many reasons almost all of which are not human derived.
