I am not anti gun, but I resent the thinking that being macho is an answer. That seems to be the prevailing mood now, and frankly it will worsen...our individual psyches cannot take hate day in and day out. We are being "taught" and shown by examples each day that we should "fight fire with fire" and playing a victim is acceptable.

You mentioned young people and that is for another thread, but in any case, if you simply bring up disgust at shootings, you are assured you will be assailed and told guns don't kill people....somebody once asked...then why do killers have them?

I have no idea of this particular motive, but you must be filled with hate to even contemplate action like this.

The current depth of hate and the 'acceptance' of it by a lot of people...needs to stop.

And that's not going to happen with just..."thoughts and prayers."

I also believe the easy access to firearms...plays a role in these horrific incidents.

While I won't speculate as to what type(s) of weapon(s) he used, I would be willing to bet that he brought plenty of ammo (even if it was a handgun)...and he wasn't using a 6-shot revolver that took time to reload.
