    the real question, is why people feel the need to go on shooting sprees? where are the mental health options for some of these individuals? how does the american culture contribute to this? etc.

    so far the only shortsighted solution is to impose stricter gun controls but if someone really wants to, they'll find ways to hurt people.

    • Agreed, its not a problem that gets solved with one solution.sofakingback
    • I think the american gun culture is a big issue. movies, games, toys, everything is guns. Everything is kill somethingsofakingback
    • True...guns an American cultural phenomenon.utopian
    • More Americans killed by guns since 1968 than in all U.S. wars.utopian
    • It's what this country has always been about and these occurrences used to be much less common, stop blaming the guns, it's utter nonsense

    • You are right...guns don't kill people!utopian
    • The bottom line is that Americans love their violence, it is in their DNA.utopian
    • @utopian, only one quarter of those gun deaths were homicides so not really the most honest stat

    • At least in it's implication. Sneaky wording. Obviously it doesn't make homicide in any proportion culturally acceptable

    • America bash all you want, I don't care. Have a little bit of human decency though and don't mock human suffering and tragedy, that's just scummy behavior

    • Things change. 200 years ago, it was a good idea. Now, its just a shit show. I love guns, they're awesome. but not enough to see so many people die like that.sofakingback
    • Well love guns or not, they are part of the fabric of society and they trully aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Time to look for real solutions
      ********
    • I won't even pretend to have a solution or know whats right or wrong. I know these shootings aren't normal. I don't think anyone wants this to happen.sofakingback
    • Not really an honest stat?

    • Stop beeing a retard. there are nut jobs everywhere, but they don't have access to guns like they have in the US. A retard without a gun is not that harmful..ESKEMA
