Yep :yep:
and that's were i was afread of that they could blame the movies and the games,
glad that this person is not a gamer and had no firearms

Yea well, in Norway they just had a case where a cop had shot his wife and himself. In Finland an ex-cop and a former Olympic shooter shot his wife. So plenty of those cases around too.

Another police committed suicide with his wife and a manager of army arsenal shot his wife. These cases prove the double standard of the demands to take firearms from private hands.
Statisticly private owners are starting to look safer handlers of firearms than goverment employees.

Indeed. Personaly I stick to the principle of innocent before proven guilty, even if that means loosing some lives.

I don't think these cases are enough to tip the scales of violence against government officials and make them less reliable than private gun owners. Although it would be a good idea to look at how police use their weapons and try to minimize the overall gun violence, both 'legal' and illegal.

And I think you'll find that gun violence perpetrated by government employees is per capita similar to that of the general population. They're human beings just like anyone else.

Just smile at the pussies and say you love the smell of napalm burning.:D
Its the "castration" of the male personality from childhood, that is also behind all kinds of disorders in our society.

Because of antidepressants!

I heard that in EVERY case of school masacres in the US, the killers were on a certain antidepressants. This antidepressants in combination with certain circumstances are known to let some people go berserk.

But the opportunists just blame the ego shooters for everything.

I agree with you on this. One of the side effects listed on all anti-depressants is "suicidal thoughts". How about homicidal...? My Grand dad's remedy for depression was "work", a busy mind will not get depressed.
