There was also a .223 semi auto long rifle that was in fact used. Depending on where you get the info, it all varies. CT news was quick to jump the gun (so to speak) and said it was 2 handguns before they had all the details. No matter what, all the above about no gun being at fault is something I agree with 100%. Finally, mental health is being discussed, which IMO, is where it should have started from the beginning.

Last night on CBS 60 minutes they said the .223 semi auto long rifle was the only weapon used.

Bit of a side note, somebody mentioned how these guys are made into heroes.





In Australia, suicides almost never make it into the press for that very reason. Perhaps a look at mental health problems and media strategy would be better than some sort of kneejerk legislation that we're all used to.

Maybe its cuz ive been drinking (one of those, "i should take a shot to calm down before the final" moments that turn into "sh*t im stressed lets have another beer")



but i would like to thank Stocker for actually being reasonable



you havent mentioned anything about the "God in schools" mentality that ive heard ALL f*cking WEEK



::golf clap::



also, i just realized the shooter also broke the law by stealing the said legally purchased guns in question



so i guess gun control laws didnt work that way either

I wouldn't be surprised if this was some MK ultra sh*t... does anyone remember the last time a mass shooter survived the incident? Anybody?
