Title: American high school shooting...again

How fucked up is American society when 17 year olds can get their hands on a mini-armory and go on a ramapge like that? I've got nothing against people owning guns for hunting because it teaches responsibility and respect but there's something seriously wrong when this sort of thing happens nearly every other year in America.

Out of interest, anyone here own a gun?

American society, and in fact the American constitution is insane.

How a deadly weapon like a gun can be made freely available for sale is beyond me.

I used to own an antique revolver I got given to me. I kept it hidden in a cupboard until recently and missed a couple of gun amnestys (wanted to keep it really,just in case) then got a bit paranoid with all the harsher laws so chopped it up into small pieces last year.  :cry:

its makes me sad to see things like this happen and yet nothing will be done in america about gun control.

They are using a 100-200 year old law in current times, just doesn't work, when will they see that?

Exactly. There's a fair amount of Americans who do understand that and realise it's a problem, yet just as many are clinging to outdated bollocks because of meaningless patriotic nonsense. "It's our constitutional right!"

Let's not get self righteous about the USA. We released a cannibal unto society last week and didn't realise he wasn't fit to be released until he was caught with his mate's brain on a plate.

They only say that they need gunsd to defend themselves.

Presumably against people with guns... :evil:
