US MASS SHOOTINGS IN 2007

Dec: Robert Hawkins, 19, killed six workers at the Von Maur department store and two customers in Omaha.

Oct: Asa H Coon, 14, shoots four people, injuring them, at his school in Cleveland, Ohio, before killing himself.

April: Cho Seung-hui , 23, shoots 32 people dead on campus of Virginia Tech university, Virginia, then kills himself.

Feb: Sulejman Talovic, 18, shoots dead five people and injures four at a mall in Salt Lake City, Utah, before being killed by police.

These people presumably obtained their weapons for so-called "legitimate" purposes.

The Omaha incident is said to have reignited the debate in the US about gun ownership. I wonder how many people must die in USA before it is realised that, whether it is guns or people that kill, together they are a dangerous mix.

The only people it has re-ignited are those who seek reasons to push it in the first place.
there's no reason to pass new legistlation when they can't enforce the old.
Until they can enforce the old there will be gun crimes by those who can have criminal intentions.
The problem isnt the guns or the poverty level.. it's the fact that people as a whole lack compassion for their fellow man. And once they get to that point are no longer a part of society. When they turn criminal for whatever reason, and yes Tom I know this has been discussed... they take their chances. That is how it is. To be shot by copy hours days later .. or by the one who should have shot them .. the victim. I will always vote to remain victimless.
To not be a victim in the first place.
Some people will never understand that thinking .. it's always going to be a BS discussion as it's tiring.
no matter what people are in it. accept it.
