That you should put to death those who murder other people?

The shooter in Connecticut killed himself, genius, so good luck with that.

That more guns in the hands of law-abiding people would avert tragedies like these.

Apart from the obvious, more subtle for some is that the psycho in China with a knifeReveal Hidden Contentwas not as "successful" as the psycho in Canada with a gunReveal Hidden Content. I wonder why that is? 😕


Of course bring on the same old pro-gun argument: [killing machines] don't kill people, people kill people with [killing machines]

You are honestly saying that the constitutional right to carry guns, essentially with few limitations, does not significantly increase the chances of an event of this horrific barbarity taking place?

The reason that terrible events of this nature continue to happen in the US is the availabilty of guns and acceptability (Both legally and socially) of owning and carrying guns. Apart from hunting, policing and military purposes there is no need for a person to reasonably own a gun.

My prayers to all those touched by this unspeakable tragedy

He won't do it again.

I'm a bloke from the UK who sucks at geography - thought it was Canada; your correction is acknowledged.

That said, I stand by the structural detail of my response (as opposed to its aesthetic detail).

Having read about the subject earlier the idea was implanted in my head (somehow) that the location of the shooting was in Canada. In writing my response that error made it's way into my post without any quality control (like re-checking where you said it happened - the United States)

More people responsible for their own kids instead of putting them into schools would have done the job too. Just one more reason to teach your own kids at home.
