Don't know much about this guy http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...friendless-boy

But he didn't seem like a professional criminal before the tragedy.

Edit: BTW, the same goes for the colorado gunman.
Madmen don't need a firearm to commit mass murder. McVeigh and Kehoe both killed more people than lanza and Holmes combined.

But none of that is the point of the cartoon. Which is that anytime you disarm law abiding citizens you're telling criminals, be they professionals, amateurs, gang members, junkies and yes most definitely madmen, that their victims, ie the law abiding saps who obeyed the law, will not be able to stop them.

A far better name for "gun free zone" is "defenseless victim zone" because that's the message we're sending to criminals.
