The gunman is named by US media as 24-year-old Ryan Lanza. He is reported to have also killed his mother, who worked at the school.
Reports are saying they have found a body at his home, believed to be his father.

This is why I don't understand how America feels it can police the world when they have such major issues at home to deal with first.

Their gun laws don't make a difference. This happened because of someone's actions. End of the day, laws or no laws if someone wants to go on a rampage they will. They will get the weapon however they see fit. It could happen in any country.
Go and have a lie down |

I spent the summer working for republican who claimed that shootings were being engineered by Obama to bring through gun laws. Cunts like that will still justify these things. Its so fucking sick.

It's because they have rights. (I've known quite a few Americans) |

Agreed.
But why does it always seem to happen in America? I can only think of Breivik in recent years that wasn't a yank.
That bloke up north who went on a rampage with a shot gun, then recently a bloke got shot in the head in Devizes. |

What a fucking ridiculous statement. If access to guns wasn't as easy as it currently is, the number of shootings like this would be nowhere near as high as it is.
The point I'm trying to make is that if someone wants to go on a rampage then they will go on a rampage. They will get the guns anyway possible if that's what they want to do. Yes they are more freely available, but look at the size of the us compared to the uk. There will obviously be more psychopaths over there. It is a tragic state of affairs in any country, and there is no excuse for it. |

this thread has descended into an argument that the UK has as many gun-toting nutters as the US and it's only page 2.

The Devizes shooting was a personal grudge.
I'm struggling to understand how anyone can say that the relaxed gun ownership laws are not a key facilitator for this kind of scenario.
Granted, if a nutter wants a gun he's going to do anything to get one. But at least make it a little more fucking difficult.
