    Can't believe the stupidity of a huge number of Americans defending the gun laws over there. It seems no matter how many of these mass shootings occur they'll still defend it

    It was a primary school and everything. How old was the gunman?

    The mentality over there is if more people had guns and were armed, the shooter would have been stopped before he killed so many. Sad, but that's the way gun activists think over there.

    Awful!! What possesses someone to do this in an elementary school??

    Obama, the Senate & House of Representatives should now get together and begin to change the gun laws. This cannot keep happening.

    Has any President took on the NRA?

    Crime is bad enough in America without the catastrophic increase that would occur if gun ownership was banned.

    So sad. The usual reaction is an increase in gun sales.

    What goes through a persons head when they decide they're going to step in their son's elementary school and open fire on children?
    Absolutely tragic, RIP all who lost their lives.

    Jesus Christ the Six-One News say the death toll is at least 27.

    I didn't think it was that many.

    What the fúck is up with someone who would do something like that ?

    My heart goes out to the poor families awaiting the dreaded news.

    Awful memories of Dunblane flooding back.

    Actually it's very rational and backed up by a lot of empirical evidence.

    I moved to the US for work about a year ago, and from what I've seen, this type of thing isn't going to stop anytime soon. Even Obama hasn't made any serious move to try to curb gun ownership.

    That being the case I would be delighted if you could provide a link or source. It would seem incredibly counter intuitive.
