Yes Another Shooting [Not In A School]

[Retribution]

[size=1]That has zero bearing on the debate at hand. You asserted that people will always find a way to harm others, regardless of weapon restriction/regulation. The fact of the matter is, things like school shootings wouldn't be possible without firearms. Essentially, the damage would be limited by the limited weaponry.[/size]

So that's really what has me the most shocked over this. The trying to understand the thought process that lead them to such a violent solution.[/quote]I said I wondered if gun control would make a difference, not that they would hurt someone no matter what.

My point was that would stricter gun laws really make a difference. Sandy touched on it briefly about better social care and health issues. Other things that might address why they feel the need to inflict lethal damage on innocent people.

So the debate is what drives someone to reach a point where they will kill regardless of the weapon and why others even with similar stressful lives or situations do absolutely nothing to other people.

I'm more interesting in understand what break down happens within a person's mind that results in them harming others. You're missing what I'm trying to say here.
