pffft yo'self homeboy.
that sentiment has a lot a thought behind it.
In the US, more than anywhere else in the entire world, the gun is the grotesque symbol of male empowerment. It is like crack for the socially disempowered.

(Apr 19 07, 04:30)this is true. but to come to a good conclusion you cannot simply point to guns as the problem itself alone. True, making guns as easily accessible as in Virginia is a very very large part of this problem. But the US society, like any other country, MUST take lessons from this in a way that serious psychological problems and isolation can lead to a mind that sees no other solution then killing random innocent people. If we keep ignoring the importance of dealing with this phenomenon it will happen again, it can be a rape, a stabbing or otherwise violent behaviour.
