I'm calling shenanigans on that... Do you have a link? Cause I think Frazz has more guns than Canada...
My dogs have more guns than Canada.
Is it surprising that I find more validity with your claim than I originally did with CDK's statement?
Also, I'm taking an over under on how many minutes until my hippy liberal friend from high school compares me to this nutjob for owning a gun... My bet? 25 minutes simply because of the time required for her to send tweets while at work...

Even Michael Moore, in one of his movies, showed it. He has no love for guns but even he showed that there's more there guns in Canada but less gun violence. They just have a totally different attitude there.

What? How many mass shooters have been NRA members?
Seems the shooter was one "Ryan Lanza" ( sp ?), he killed his father at their home, then went to the school where his mother worked and.. well, we know the rest.
So sad watching the interviews and the pictures.

According to his facebook page he was a fan of community theater, bands you've never heard of, mass effect and wearing large coats.

Okay, that makes a little more sense than it being a 20-yr old parent of a student... Well if the deceased parent wasn't the teacher, he or she probably won't be able to work at that school anymore... Way to feth up your parent's future you gakker!
Edit: Reds8n has corrected me on this...

Being pissed isn't the emotion you should be expressing at this moment. It should be one of sorrow and empathy for those that died.

Understandable, this is a pretty shocking event. But quoting Michael Moore is rarely a good idea.

Which is probably best not displayed by moaning that a friend might tweet you.

And "probably" is wrong, because however you feel about the NRA, its members don't tend to go on rampages.
This is so messed up. I wish people would stop doing this kind of crap.

Back to the real issues.

I don't think it's particularly constructive to tell someone else how they should feel about something. People react to bad situations in a variety of ways. Being angry at someone who shot a bunch of innocent people is a perfectly reasonable response. So is being sad and feeling empathy. Sometimes people even feel those ways at the same time.
4 weapons -- the 2pistols and rifle mentioned before and..? -- and a bulletproof vest.
Of course.
His younger brother is being held by authorities, best keep an open mind here until things are clearer.
Some remarkable stories of bravery from the teachers. Good for them.

Don't you dare bring that fat piece of gak to any argument you want to win. He's an ignorant blathering fathead who found out he could be famous by drawing attention to issues he makes up with "facts" he invented.

While part of me wants to blame guns, I actually blame the lack of mental health care in our country. Not only is there the stigma of getting help but then you have have to pay a lot of money to get it.
This. The gun violence is a symptom. The cause is mental illness. if we had better methods for people to identify and deal with mental helath issues; we would see School Shootings be reduced.
