The "right" to bear arms strikes again. Ridiculously outdated amendment that puts weapons in the hands of lunatics. Absolutely heartbreaking...

100% Nobody should have the "right to bear arms" as a constitutional right.
That right only comes if you've earned it.
Or you're actually a bear.
I doubt americans will ever learn. This amendment to their constitution was a fail from day one.

Someone commented on Twitter: "I wish mental health care was as easy to obtain as a gun (in the U.S.)".
Probably goes further than just mental health care though, there has to be bad character involved to kill 20 innocent kids, but the original quote has merit, especially in the U.S.

There is a big problem there in America and it isn't gun control.
Why aren't they looking at the broader social problems that make so many of their young men flip out and start shooting. Look at the root cause of their actions, taking their guns is just a bandaid on a massive social problem.
Youth with mental illness is the problem, not their access to weapons.
Plenty of places in the world with free access to firearms and very little gun violence.

Waiting for the idiot brigade who generally spout, 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. Yeah,that's right. People don't kill people, the entropy of the universe does. Real f*cking useful stuff that is.
RIP to those affected.
But it is true - as fluffy says, there's deeper social roots to the cause of these problems. Lax gun control doesn't help!

This is what pisses me off nearly as much as them topping other people. If you're going to do it let someone catch you and end your life getting but fucked for the next 25 years in jail. You're a coward for shooting un armed people, kids in particular and then you just a ****** for topping yourself after...

It's not just Americans..... This also happened on the same day:

there's a lot of truth to this.
They still haven't sorted out their basic healthcare in the US and haven't even started to think about tackling mental illness and healthcare for those affected.
More fundamentally, the social issues that can trigger mental illness or in other ways lead people to despair and acts of violence, are a world away from being resolved.
There is still a national sense of denial that there is anything wrong with US society (not that we are looking all that much better but relatively speaking ....)
Often the guys committing these atrocities are just as much victims as the people they kill and injure and the families left to mourn.
There's just no good that comes of it because considered action is never taken. Politics and lobbyists will out.

Just saw this on good old face book. Well said sir :
This year 49 children in a Syrian school get shot with their hands bound behind their backs and around 20,000 children starve to death every day. But another shooting in the US makes headlines again and all of a sudden everyone cares. Oh and ofcourse it's Obama's fault again? Pfft

Victims or not there is no excuse for this shit. I agree though there needs to be more done in the way of mental health and gun laws

hmmm yes, somehow it's easy to forget the millions displaced, killed, injured and whose lives have been irrevocably damaged, if not lost, in wars and through cultural/civil/<insert appropriate term> unrest ...
first world problems.
both are BAD. and not Obama's fault.
