hey, pssst. I think I found the last clue to solve this puzzle.
lets rethink what every shooter had in common with each other.
They've all eaten bread!
Fuck, I even think Hitler has regular eaten bread! And thats just tip of the iceberg!
We have to ban bread...
Heh, I see where you are going with this.
I really wanted to leave a gun "debate" out of this, but let me just make a simple point.
The kid's father owned many guns (fifteen or so) and belonged to a gun club. Fine. In Germany, from what I understand, one has to belong to a marksmanship club, hunting organization, or similar to own a firearm. German forumites, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, I've noticed on some of the news websites that people use this as fodder in an argument with Americans, saying that Americans are more violent and have easier access to guns, and the German way of what I described above is a better solution. This makes no sense to me.
What if the jagoff's father was a policeman and he took his gun?
What separates an American from owning a firearm for target shooting or sport (who can buy the firearm regardless of his club organization, but faces varying application processes from state to state, background checks, etc.), from a German who must belong to a club prior to owning one?
My point is, if the kid wanted to carry something like this out, and assuming his father had a firearm in the home for whatever reason, then he would find a way to do so.
ORRRR, he could simply fashion a makeshift flame thrower like we read about the wikipedia link provided earlier.
Uh oh, let's ban super soakers, gasoline, and zippo lighters now! No need for a background check on any of those.
Sorry, I just had to. Reading commentary on news reports fires me up. I should probably stop doing so and just discuss with you gents.
