Except in the US, where they can easily take their two assault rifles and go on a shooting spree. HAH!

Clearly, the U.S. can only dream of one day being as stable and peaceful as your beloved Serbia.

I don't remember any mass shootings here. We are more peaceful then the US by a long shot.

I am going to go out on a limb here: This should be politicized. I know the meaning behind your statement is the use of a horrible incident to promote a personal agenda, usually preexisting position. However, politicians should be talking public policy following this type of event. I think the key is for everyone to look at their position with fresh eyes and try to stick to facts.

Whatever. Maybe. My point is that the act of worrying about the political ramifications of this is in and of itself political and hypocritical.

Wow. Assuming you're serious, I have some rather upsetting videos to show you...

From my perspective, the frustration is not that it is being politicized, but what is being politicized. Would we be clamoring for the ban of compound bows if Lanza was an archer, or double-edged swords if he was a fencer, or (dare I say it?) jets if he was a pilot?

We should just ban mass-murder altogether, that way this will cease to be an issue.
