It could be anything from this disturbed child's alter ego, to a reference to the Koran...
What the hell, the guy was Korean, why would he be referencing the Koran? Maybe it was a starcraft quote (oh lawd).
Do you guys hoestly think that if someone who is determined to kill someone will just turn around and go "oh well" if they aren't allowed to own a gun by law?
Ok, I think a lot of people are missing the entire point of gun control. It isn't to stop every criminal in the country from obtaining guns - as you said, anyone can get a gun if they're dedicated enough - it's about getting less guns on the street and in the hands of
potentially dangerous people. No, gun control laws will not stop every murder in the country. But it will stop SOME. And that's enough of a reason to have them.
I know the right to bear arms was made so that the people could revolt against a tyrannical government - but face it, sooner or later the people will just have to trust their politicians - putting a gun in everyone's hand might help in stopping a dictator from taking over, but at what price? Homicide rates through the roof? No other country in the western world has these sort of freedoms, and believe it or not, democracy works anyway.
I also want to bring up the middle east. You think American school shootings are bad? Fuck, do I even need to go into the details of how violent the middle east is?
Well, first of all, the middle-east is basically one big shit-hole of dictatorships and fundamentalists... there's no point in comparing first-world countries to the countries in the ME. Much less trying to
excuse the violence in the US by saying "the middle-east is worse".
And, yes, thanks to us at least Iraq is currently seeing a little stabilization.
Yeah, civil wars all over the place and terrorism through the roof. You guys rock. Maybe it's time to realize invading Iraq wasn't the right thing to do?
