    He probably trained on Doom. Someone check to see if he was able to aim up and down.

      Get real. People don't carry snakebite emergency repair kits, and they're much more likely than a gun to be useful.

      Strangely, while I've been at gunpoint, knifepoint, baseball batpoint, and fistpoint many times, I've never been faced with a poisonous snake. I suppose my experience is contrary to yours, but then again, I don't live in a jungle.

    Ooh, ooh, can I get on TV predicting how the shooter's computer has Microsoft Word installed on it? I'm more likely to be right.

    We don't have the right to bare arms here in the UK per se, but I just do it anyway. Too hot for long sleeves.

    Which is also why we average a war every 20 years - or more. Democracy works and is perfect! And if that doesn't work - we've got nukes. So there!

    If the students were armed, as provided for by the 2nd amendment, someone could have dropped that guy early on and saved 30 or more people.

    Look, whatever. The issue at hand isn't guns. It's Hypnogenic Ninjitsu.

    If the students had been trained as ninjas with the power to hypnotize their attackers, as provided for by Bob's Ninjitsu and Hypnosis College, someone could have done the Stare-of-Freezing to that guy early on and saved 30 or more people. Chalk up another bunch of deaths to the anti-Ninja agenda of American citizens by the mommy government. There will be no correction, though; instead of people going "well duh, I should take Hypnogenic Ninjitsu classes in case some crazy bastard shows up in my face somewhere", they'll just take a bunch more of your martial arts education away at the schools - restrict your hypnosis lessons, require Ninja-study permission slips, make you wear "guns don't kill people, Ninjas do" T-shirts, ... and a year or so from now, some crazy will do the same thing again, perhaps slightly more cleverly and with more throwing stars.

    My advice is don't try it in Arkansas.
    I think most people don't want to try anything in Arkansas. Have fun with your guns!

    In the UK it is national news when somebody gets stabbed to death, even more so when guns are involved (they are banned in the UK).

    Well, you gotta admit it's pretty impressive combination of strength and stupidity to stab someone to death with a gun ;).
