It is now just called Tuesday in the US.

Very sad.

Even Santa hit the deck.

    Are both of you serious or only one of you? The only reference to an "automatic" weapon was Canzano quoting what he heard someone else say, they make a clear reference to "semi-automatic" in other parts of the article. Canzano's a sports columnist and doesn't seem like much of a gun guy to me.

    The general public confuses the term 'automatic' and 'semi-automatic' often. I don't think it's because of lies from the anti-gun crowd. When you think about it, semi-automatic doesn't really make sense, kind of like clipless pedals.

    Well I think we all know the reason for this. If more people were to carry more guns then the shooter would never have thought about doing that. ;)

    is that not the reasoning from the last shoot out. If more people did carry guns then the shooter would not have been able to kill as many people as he did.

    I'm sure he would've been able to do the same kind of damage with a knife right?

    i really don't think it's the guns ... i think this is cultural ... historically - the country is simply a violent nation where problems are solved through force rather than diplomacy ... it's culturally inherent that if someone has a beef - that the resolution will be in some violent act ...

    to some extent...im sure he has some sort of military background, maybe shipped off to some middle eastern desert away from his job, wife and kids, forced to fight some needless war of choice, maybe raped and killed a few "terrorists" then came home 3 years ago to no family, no job and got hooked on the pts drugs and couldnt take it no more.

    Perhaps Americans should just come to accept the fact that if we are not going to do anything to address the issue of guns on our streets, we are going to have to live with the consequences of our inactions. That being, crazy fucks flipping the switch and shooting up the place becoming an acceptable side effect.
    Weren't there other Mall Shootings around Christmas in the past? I don't know... maybe we can make it part of our Chirstmas celebrations.

    my question is (and maybe we have to look back into our history a bit) did the u.s. have mass shootings back in the 1700s & the 1800s? i am curious about this. we have been able to aquire firearms since this country was stolen then rebirthed. so did anyone ever go into a theater back in the day and do random shootings because they were having a shitty life?

    anyone ever blow themselves up in a crowd back in the day?

    when did all this start up?

    And another tragic story...
    I saw one the other day too -- thought about posting it here, but realized its all the same shit...anyways, a few days ago a father and his seven year old son went to try to sell their guns. The store woldnt buy them, so the father carefully loaded the rifle in the back seat, got his seven year old in his truck, and put his pistol in the center console. He forgot a single bullet was in the chamber and the gun went off and shot his seven year old through the chest. The boy died. Its just not worth it.
