Alabama Gunman kills 9, shoots self!  

Now, why in the world would you wanna get shot for?


You actually take it as a norm that people are shooting each other?
And that it is okay that they are shotting each other?
That it is alright to use the gun to vent out frustrations at other people? And in the event you are depressed, it is justified to go out shooting other people before shooting yourself?

Yeah... and the worst part of it is, some innocent people are involved in their rage as well.
And all because he is disgrunted with his lot in life.
I am sure we all are disgrunted with our lot in life. BUT we learn to deal with it!
Not use violence to get back at the people who may or may not have contributed to our current state in life.

Sigh...

Their approach to life is just plain selfish, that's what I'd say

Yep! I totally agree!

Exactly! IT is always the me-me-me mentality.
I mean, who is not disgrunted with their lot in life?
Everyone would be unhappy with something in their life.
And they learn to deal with it. Not vent out at the people who may have contributed to their current state of life.

Sheez~~! People now a days have a totally different mindset about how things are done eh?

Precisely! When life deals us with a lousy hand, we deal with it.
Not pick up a weapon and start whacking everyone who is playing at the same table!
The things people do now a days in the name of dealing with their depression is ridiculous!
Killing people before killing himself!
Sad!

Yeah, I read about the one in Germany as well.
He is depressed and undergoing counselling.
What makes me wonder is why the counsellor did not see his suicidal tendencies?
I mean, as a counsellor, he should have noticed the change in his behavior, right?

Well, everybody makes mistakes.. Even the case of a boy being abused in dunno which country, and he died in the end, even many social workers also din managed to see anything wrong when the hints and bruises are so obvious..

I guess that guy is good at pretending so that his counsellor will let his guard down off him..

Well, it is just sad.

Yeah.. If it's meant to happen, it will happen..

Yeah, I totally agree with you on that!
They want to go, GO!
Why need to vent their frustration on innocent people before ending their own.
Sad... it is just sad!

Yeah, it is scary. And with the gun culture in many parts of the states, it is even scarier.
And violence begets violence. People who are frustrated see this and thinks, "hey, he could do it, why not me? I will inflict pain upon others as other have inflicted on me!".

I sure hope that something would be done to prevent people like them from getting their hands on guns. Or any weapons for that matter!

My heart really goes out to the ones that got shot just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time!
I pray that their souls will rest in peace.
And than all those gun toting people will think twice before disengaging the safety of their weapons.

Well, better education in how to deal with rejection and failures can be a starting point!

The banning of weapons to the ordinary citizens would be another.

That two alone will go a long way in preventing such things from happening.
But with the gun culture so ingrained into the minds of some individuals in the west, it is near to impossible to get them to give up their guns!

But at the same time, they want these kinda situations to stop.
What a predicament we put ourselves in eh?

Hmm... We are talking about guns here my friend.
A tool that is used for killing. Not for work, not for transport nor for anything useful other than to kill.

Regulating the use of guns to professions that needs it is a way to go to prevent the rampant misuse of the weapon.
It is only a tool if it is not abused.

Taking your example of the car, it is a tool used by everyone. AND it is regulated. As it is a necessary part of life, anyone who abuses it gets banned from driving them.

You don't see people driving and ramming everyone down in rage being reported on the news ALL the time. But with guns, weapons, everytime you see a report in the news, it is always used to harm people, innocent or not.

Asking to regulate the use of guns is not wrong then. No?

"You don't see people driving and ramming everyone down in rage being reported on the news ALL the time. But with guns, weapons, everytime you see a report in the news, it is always used to harm people, innocent or not."
no, we don't see it in the news as much, because it isn't as sensationalist as guns are, guns sell more news, but it happens none the less, dui crashes, road rage, people evading police in a chase, intentional rammings, it all happens. People die far more as a result of vefical misuse and negligence.
guns are a tool when used propperly, just like a car is. If we begin banning guns, it only makes it harder for honest decent people to own them, criminals will still have no trouble getting them because they don't obey the law in the first place. Look at germany, the school shooting that just took place. Germany has some vert strict gun control, yet things like this happen there anyway.

"Asking to regulate the use of guns is not wrong then. No? "
In this country, yes it is VERY wrong. there is no constitutional authority for them to do so, it would be Ilegal and litteraly a crime of treason.
