This young killer spent hour after hour playing video games in his basement. Have you seen what they are like? Heads chopped off, blood spurting, etc. This gives the viewer a feeling of power and life has no meaning. He has been built up to think he is in one of those games and winning it. It was as if he was striking back at society because he had so few friends. He will use anything to accomplish his goal. Thats why he picked an elementary school, easy pickings, and not a police station. As soon as he saw signs of the swat team he killed himself. Nobody wants to research banning these games, just the one tool he used. He could have used knives, bombs, gasoline, SUV, etc.
Think back to when we were kids. None of this ever happened. Guns were just as prevalent and so were semi-auto's with the end of WWII. The most violent things we saw was cowboy and gangster movies.
