I would please just caution people on starting political arguments about gun laws and understand that the real issues are much deeper than guns. I believe every state needs to look at their mental healthcare programs, as we know nobody who would do such a thing is in his or her right mind.

Unless we make every citizen take periodic mental health exams, involuntarily commit anyone who we think poses a slight risk, and have several armed guards at every school, you can't stop stuff like this from happening. Things like this are a sad and unavoidable reality of this sick world.

It's natural to want to assign blame, but we can't do that for something like this. The person who is responsible is dead. He can't hurt anyone anymore. Now we just have to worry about the sickos out there who will be "inspired" by this.
