whatever you may be feeling isn't something you decided to feel anyway, so no one can blame you.
and I'm not saying I disapprove or something lol, I honestly don't feel that much myself...it's just so distant, especially if you live in a country like mine...
I feel horrible for those killed and their loved ones, and the students and staff of the school of course, but somehow it isn't much on my mind...
again, it's so far away, and you always think things like these never happen to you or close by

America again..like in Santana High School years ago if I'm right
*** this really upset me, I cannot believe that person, what a complete *******. I'm glad he shot himself and I hope he burns in ****... I was very moved by the 74 year old Professor who sacrificed himself to save his students, thats one of the most heroic things i've ever heard so *** bless that man. I send out my sympathy for the people who lost there lives that day and send my most sincere condolenses to their families. Things like these make me glad I don't live in the USA, considering how easy it is to get ahold of a gun. It's completely outrages and the government needs to act on it now, before something like this happens again

It's not just in America, so I don't think banning guns will have much of an effect.
Like a few years ago in Scotland, that man shot a load of little primary school kids and their teacher... even though guns are illegal over here it doesn't stop shootings happening.

you have to admit though that the States have more total gun deaths than any other country on record in the western world (at least)
according to Bowling for Columbine it's 11000+, while in for example Japan it's 39
if you adjust the figures to "per person" instead of just total, it's still way higher

I'd be all for it and everything, but I'm actually not sure gun restrictions would solve the problem, I mean look at drugs...
and in europe in places where guns are banned, the bad guys still just hook themselves up with guns
however...restrictions would mean that for school shootings it would be harder to obtain a mass amount of guns and ammo (-> columbine), and kids won't find guns in their homes and bring them to school and shoot other kids (flint)
