All of these things are very PC to say from the blathering mouths of public officials but people kill people everyday of the week. This was one incident that took over from the UT tower shooting as the most deadly. That was, what, 40 years ago. It's a sensation, it's a tragedy for those involved and it appears to be a huge mistake for the campus and local police. I don't know if they sat on their collective rears for 2 hours or went for coffee and doughnuts but they apparently didn't bother to warn even the people in the building five minutes away. That's just stunning. IMO it's right to focus on that failure. People harm people all the time. Sometimes it's by sending them to a for-profit war based on a pack of lies, sometimes it's a shooting rampage. Sometimes crap happens to people who were just unlucky enough to be standing around. I do not trust the 'government' to be the only owners of guns. The founding fathers didn't trust the government either. There's a long history of not trusting the government and for very good reason. Now if the government wants to relinquish guns inside the borders as well, then we can at least have a discussion.
