i knew the shooter at the thurston high shooting in oregon (i was living there. he was a year ahead of me. i was still in the jr high though). i knew one of the victims too. asshole blew off his finger has my friend was tackling him. the guy shot his GF, he grabbed the gun and put the guy on the ground, and then a couple other of our friends got on top.

its fuckin weird knowing the people involved with this stuff.

OK, say some nutjob does decide to go on a rampage? What happens then? He gets fucking shot. Two people die at most. And rampages like this, while they do happen, don't happen three or four times a fucking year. So that's 2 or 4 deaths a year compared to this happening three or four times a year with 6 to ten deaths each time. 18-40 deaths.

I'm just talking about things like school shootings.

Another idea is to just install metal detectors at every large public place, from schools to malls. Honestly I think this would be more effective.

However, I still stick by my argument.

You're an idiot. First of all, it's not like they're afraid to die, they all turn the gun on themselves.
Second of all, if everyone has a gun, what's to stop that overly angry guy from snapping and making a rash decision? You would have so many more shootings in the world. Not to mention, would you feel comfortable talking to anyone you don't know if you know they have a gun?

The bottom line is, there are always going to be psychos, and there's is not a damn thing you can do to completely stop it. You can slow it down with metal detectors and security, but psychotic people will always find a way.

My first idea will never happen, and maybe that's for the best, but the metal detectors idea can and should happen.

That would just make the problem worse. Adding to people's sense of alienation makes them more likely to go on a rampage...

My dads band KMFDM were in some stupid way connected to the shootings. Colombine idiots posted the lyrics on there website before the shooting, and finland guys main "influence" for the shooting was the song Stray Bullet, which he mis-interpreted for what ever he did.
On top of it, those were both my dads songs:(

Wait..... Did you just say your dad is a member of KMFDM?? Did i read that wrongly???
 
Sorry about the mistaken identity there. When I came to think of it, if you post a picture here, it would be just like googling it. Unless I'm in the picture though. Glad to know that your Dad's member.

To OP, sorry about the off topic-ness..
 
UMaine sent out an email to all the students regarding the shootings:

Dear Students and Colleagues,

I'm certain that you share my feelings of sadness and concern in the wake of another episode of unspeakable violence on a college campus. *The Thursday incident and Northern Illinois University brings into sharp focus the need for all of us to support each other and to be alert to signs of distress among those in our community. *We are fortunate at UMaine to be part of a warm, welcoming community where people care about each other.

To my knowledge, this student was "outstanding" and his erratic behavior was the result of a mental condition that he (didn't) took meds for. There could have been no signs of distress around this guy before he spontaneously went postal.
