    No, I'm not a vegetarian: I just don't think frivolous killing for sport is cool at all. Animals don't even kill other animals to wear or as trophies, it's extremely savage and resource draining PLUS an affront to starving nations.

    Most gun purchasers WON'T be reasonable; why enable the murders of thousands to save 20 lives? My argument is not about like (I'm currently pro-gun but heavily questioning it).

    Wow, this sure spun away from the event and more into the debate about gun control.

    Hotaru: in Europe, episodes like this just don't happen. It's more difficult even for criminals to get access to guns: I've personally never even seen a real gun in real life. I think pretty much every European looks down on the USA when it comes to guns and thinks "They are so stupid". You guys don't need guns. We don't have them and we're doing just fine.

    That's what I was talking about. I don't see a reason why in USA people would need guns more than we Europeans do. We have different kinds of people here as well. We have some monsters too. But I feel definitely more safe knowing that I have no gun at home, neither do my neighbours. I feel safe without guns. I wouldn't feel like that with a gun at home.

    In the uk, where there are stricter laws, this kind of thing doesn't happen. Yes there are people/gangs carrying guns illegally but there are very few cases of people being shot (that aren't involved in gang culture themselves).

    It says something that even the majority of our police force do not want to be armed with the main reason being that they believe arming themselves will encourage more criminals to starting carrying weapons.

    I feel for these children and their parents, and the people that had to deal with the aftermath and seeing that sight. It must be devastating.

    I dislike the European superiority complex. After all, they glorify David Hassellhoff.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
