ORIGINAL: WhoreMods I'm suffering no anguish at all: that comes across from your denial that easy access to a not quite military grade rifle was the reason this tonk was able to wipe out half a nightclub, though. Yes, the guns used definitely aided in the number of kills/injuries. I never denied that. However, the mere fact that he had guns doesn't mean he's going to go on a shooting rampage. Why did he go on a shooting spree? If we can get rid of the 'Why,' we wouldn't even be talking about the 'How.' If we get rid of the 'How,' but not the 'Why,' we'll end up talking about the new 'How.' quote:
Just how many spree killings in your country in the last twenty years have involved home made bombs, rather than guns, out of interest? (Somebody blowing up their underpants, rather than an airliner, to no effect besides looking ridiculous doesn't count, btw.) 21 years, but what's one more year? Don't forget Happyland in NJ 87 dead and not a gun in site.
