Guns or no guns, pathological cases will always find a way to wreak havoc. If all have guns they will use explosives like with the Oklahoma city bombing or whatever.

Maybe August 'misunderstood' (intentionally of course), that i moan the shooting of the mass murderer. I do not. But i think it would be good for mankind if it knew what makes those people tick, if only to prevent more of this carnage.

What is this, misunderstand August day? I didn't claim that you moaned (i'm guessing you meant "bemoaned") the shooting of a mass murderer, how the heck did you get that from what I wrote? I was just commenting that if this follows every other mass murder all the psychoanalyzing and fact finding will only serve to inspire the next mass murderer.
