Video really didn't show much. Pretty sad story this shooting. Only one masacre on this scale where im from. I dont agree with Americas gun laws. Think the laws we have in Australia are the way to go. If America keeps its current gun laws shootings like these and so many other gun related deaths (accidental or purpously) will continue to happen. But they are Americas laws so nothing to do with me. |

I don't neccessarily agree with the knee-jerk reaction the Australian government took after the Martin Bryant killings but I was happy that they gave me $600 for my shotgun that I paid $300 for |

Do you really think the gun laws had something to do with it? In my opinion, legal or not, someone who wants a gun can get it by some way. If this guy had in mind do such a massacre, I don't really think a different gun law would make him change it. |

You are right . Laws cant completly stop it. But it should be harder to get one than it is now.
What i actually miss in every case of a massacre like that is, that noone uncovers how the guys get their weapons. If i just missed it so far, sorry. But i never heard something like that in the news.
Would be really interesting. |

Maybe he was recruited by the North Koreans to do this kind of terror. |

In relation to this comment, I'm unsure which country it was, but some oriental country went about calling the President of the United States and apologized for his actions. As though, us as a nation began or will begin to hate that entire race for what occured by the Asian dude. Crazy huh? That's how we as a country are portrayed to them. That whenever someone of their race commits an act of violence, etc. In our country, that we'll automatically hate their culture. Unless of course, they know something that we don't. |

I have read somewhere he got the weapons at an armery near the school, for $571 with 50 bullets. You're right, it should be harder to get one, but I still don't think this would avoid massacres like this, just because if someone has good contacts, he can get very easily as many guns he wants. |

Damn, he killed 32 people with only 50 bullets? Pretty respectable shooting, I must say. |

This is unlikely. Paramedics and coroners were saying each body had a minimum of three shots. As far as him buying a gun, I'm hardly a gun nut, but really, this kid was the perfect candidate for a gun. No prior criminal history, no known mental illness. Looked like a model citizen to the vendor, as well as the police that did the background check. What more can you ask for? |

your right to a degree, but i would not be able to get hold of a gun in England no matter what i tried, unless i was in a gang environment there's no common place to go and buy one, therefore a law change would change things, it would just take a long time to turn around
also apparently he was hugely stocked up on ammo, and as for being a citizen student apparently he used to write about torturing people and stalking them etc |
