I remember when the Virginia Tech shooting occurred, I thought "this kid was ****ed up. It was more his fault than the guns," but in other cases, I just don't know.
Some say it's the people that are dangerous, not the guns. Well yeah, but people are always going to be pissed, especially unstable teenagers. Now when weapons can be relatively easily to buy (illegally) and steal, any ******* with a violent agenda can carry it out. The article even lists other school shootings that happened in the last couple of weeks.
Now to all the people who think America just legally throws guns around, you must understand a lot of these instances involve illegal activity, whether it's straw purchasing or stealing.
My school had a shooting 2 years ago. He didn't shoot at anyone but himself and the ceiling. I guess he just wanted to out in a blaze. At the time, I thought it was him personally that had problems, which he did, but it's just unfair to put all the blame on the gun and not the kid for actually having such a plan. An AK-47 was used, but, why would anyone need an AK-47, even for protection?
Ugh, the thing that pisses me off is that stricter gun laws won't do much, because it affects the responsible gun owners but not really the criminals. The fact that we have people who can gain an extreme amount of power with such a little and convenient device frustrates me.
