As morbid as it is, I wonder on whom or what they (especially the media) try to pin it this time. As far as I remember, last time they tried to blame video games and stuff. |
Some say that the media should be quiet about these things, media coverage in a way glorifies these things. Not sure if that's true. I think the media together with the schools could act to prevent these things. Unfortunately it would probably take money and not everyone is willing to put more money into making schools better. Some politicians even have connections to weapon companies, I doubt they will see guns as a part of the problem. |
While you have a good point, I do not think weapons are the problem. People are the problem. In Europe and US they use guns, in the Middle East explosives and a mixture of both plus blades in Asia (with Japanese, AFAIR, predominantly using knives and sword for suck acts) .
Personally, I am all for strict laws regarding weapons and Germany has some very strict laws. Unfortunately, and that goes for every country, if you want to get your hands on some weapons: There is always the possibility of getting them. Either steal or buy them on the black market.
Unfortunately massacres like this are great selling points for the media and offer great opportunities for politicians to crawl back into the public eye and blame it it on whoever they like or brings the most votes.
