Nate, a very thoughful post, I wonder though about the video games, if you watch classic Westerns from those idyllic times you long for there is some pretty indiscriminate violence there too, and kids have been pointing toy guns and saying bang you're dead since who knows when. I don't know the answer, just a thought.

And even if it isn't a complete solution, I don't see what we gain as a society by making assault weapons available to the citizenry. Sure you don't need an assault weapon to kill, but it makes it a lot more efficient.

Very true Peter, and, I always enjoy the civil manner in which you present your arguments - even if I do not necessarily agree. I really do not want to get into it deeply, but with regard to eliminating the availability of assault weapons to everyday citizens, though I completely understand your point, I don't focus on it as much for these situations. I also take the stance that those who intend to do evil will not be deterred by laws. I can already hear the sensible argument that, "eliminating the availability of said weapons will at the very least make it more difficult for the perpetrator to acquire the weapon, possibly giving law enforcement more time to uncover the plot." I think in this particular case, the assault weapon had nothing to do with what this coward did. Let's say he didn't own one. He would just bring 3 hand guns with more clips into the classroom of utterly defenseless children. The issue was how easily he got onto the campus, into the office, and then into the classroom. My guess is that he went to the office to inflict damage, but to also get the principal's keys. At that point, no lockdown measures matter unless the students leave the premises.

What I fear for the most is not of these evil American citizens, it is for when insurgents begin to take the place of them, and with more frequency - not using guns, but bombs.
