What a tragedy! Why do they sell arms to all kind of people. Arms induce death and tragedy to the humankind, family lose their dear ones, they can't be replace. God be with their family, and i think we all should pray for the family who lost their child.

Even if he obtained the firearm legally, which I doubt very much that he did, he would have gotten his hands on a gun somehow. It doesn't matter how many laws you make against having a gun, if someone wants to shoot someone, they will find a gun.

I'm surprised that schools havn't up'd security, I mean The Colombine shooting a few months ago was evidence enough that it might happen again. I mean Couldn't these Universities and High school and even middle schools have Metal detectors and have More than just security guards around who ask if you are skipping class?

I'll be damned if I would go to a university with metal detectors all over campus. I pay enough for tuition already without them upping the cost because of the very very small chance that at the specific time I am on campus someone is going to go on a killing spree. Don't get me wrong, I feel for the friends and families of the kids that were murdered in this tragic event, but the chance of this happening to you or me is very slim.
