you said machine gun though which is fully automatic

I blame the video games. If kids didn't play violent video games this wouldn't happen.

Your post got me to read up on the whole Adam Lanza and video games thing and I just found this in the Time article:

an Xbox 360 game console was “found to be damaged and inoperable,”

This is good too. Maybe some sort of ratings committee on clothes? I remember trenchcoats were a big factor in allowing Columbine to go down, surely this is a factor here. Indian headresses should not be accessible to children!

That's all I was really doing anyway. This doesn't seem to be affecting my 24 hour intake of reality TV, so I can only muster enough emotion for maybe a Facebook share and snarky comment.

This happens as Washington's mail-in ballots are out? Ballots with these initiatives on them?

Initiative 594 -- Requires background checks be performed on all gun purchasers
Initiative 591 -- Prevents confiscation of firearms without due process and implementation of more extensive background checks than those at the federal level

One, a girl, and everyone he shot were friends of his. It doesn't seem to be random or meant to be a "mass" shooting.
