Again another massace, what is wrong with Americans anyway, Cant they see the easy access to guns makes the likelihood of numerous deaths to some nutjob very likely.

Why do we never see this things on a regular basis in the UK, i say we got our fair number of nutters too but  their access to an arsenal to cause harm is restricted over here. Michael Ryan at Hungerford and Dunblane are the 2 most serious incidents i recall but this is a 6 monthly event in the good ole USA

13 reported dead so far - fI can't wrap my head around why anyone would do it - just snuff out innocent lives like that  - there is no reason
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

There is always a reason. Somebody does not do this for no reason. There is always a motive for these events, and the crazy thing is there is usually concerns about the perpetrators before these tragedies happen.

Of course the relatively easy access to deadly weapons is an issue. These events now are endemic in American culture unfortunately and it seems to be a way that damaged individuals choose to make a statement/mark. Usually their final statement.

On reflection I accept that guns being so freely available has helped drive what has become a 'fashion'. That's what it is. Somebody gets pissed off and go do what the Columbine kids did.

We can t afford to be complacent here either. Last year an armed intruder was tasered in a school but it was kept quiet. We re about the only country in the western world that has not had a major school incident. We re on borrowed time.  Most schools are insecure and anybody can walk/drive in and roam around unchallenged. It could be only a matter of time before something bad happens.
