. . . ah yes. If it hadn't been for these two, poor geek's KNOWING THE CONCEALED TRUTH about blacks (due to their having seen the truth on Neo Nazi web pages), then they wouldn't have gone rampaging through the school gunning for minorities (and athletes, who are all black anyway, right? comes from having to jump and run after antelope through the jungle, right?).
Damn! I KNEW white kids couldn't have done something like this without BLACK people being involved!
a third-degree burn from a 190f liquid is physically impossible.
Third-degree burns require the top layers of skin to be charred-off, and the lower layers exposed and damaged. It requires MUCH higher heat and open flame.
More likely second-degree burns are what resulted, second-degree burns being classified as no more severe than blistering of the skin.

just wait. It will come out that these kids were listening to illegal Marilyn Manson MP3s they downloaded off the internet, and THAT will be THE direct cause of the whole thing, and that will be the end of MP3s.
(when, in fact, the Recording Industry planted subliminal messages in THOSE MP3s to instruct those kids to do the whole thing, as a sinister plot to discredit the internet distribution of MP3s. Banning guns is a handy side-effect. Kids not spending money on guns will buy more CDs, no?)
"...Yeah, you may not be able to buy a new Lexus every year..."

"...Individuals who accept themselves and are happy can't be controlled as easily as those who feel weak and guilty. That's how governments and religions have ruled over the society for at least the last millenia...."
I wouldn't blame religion strictly either. As with the whole gun debate, religion is merely a tool here, in this argument.
Christianity has other interpretations, which don't necessarily violate the bible. One doesn't need to feel guilty because God made them imperfect, and one doesn't have to feel unworthy because God loves them and forgives them for their imperfections. Unfortunately, this view did not serve the Catholic church in their medieval methods for controlling western civilization for 2000 years. (Case in point: Bible says "thou shalt not kill", Pope says "lets go down to Jerusalem and kill all those moslems"). That's why the printing press freed the Word, and once that genie was let out of the bottle, we saw the splintering of the church, and a LOT of bible reinterpretation. Sure, a lot of it hasn't been very good, but some of it has, so not all religion is opium for the masses. Not all hamburgers are McDonalds.

And in the late 19th century, the newspapers blamed it all on the "penny dreadfuls".
... no point in arguing with the limey. They have a long history of government oppression. Why, if I remember correctly, back in the ole days, wasn't it illegal for anyone not of noble birth (ie. a peasant, not knighted) to carry a sword or wear armor, or even own a horse?
And haven't people in the British Isles been brutally repressed by various monarchies for thousands of years (a cool movie called Braveheart comes to mind). Isn't Majors trying to sweet talk the Northern Irish militants to give up their weapons right now (so he can send in the troops and put them down for good)? I say that the Irish should keep their weapons, and keep fighting for their freedom.

"are you expecting the US people to have to rise up in an armed militia against the government any time soon?"
I've got news for you limey. They already have. Ever hear of Timothy McVeigh? These militant groups consider themselves "at war" with the US Government, and they believe that the US Government is illegal and unconstitutional, and enemies of their traditional way of life (in many ways they are right).

Realistic for England, which has been under strict rule of law during the entire history of the gun.
But in America, there was a sustained period of relative lawlessness, and it's ingrained in our culture. There are over 230 million guns in America. If you outlaw them, there will 230 million illegal guns in America, and their owners will not give a rat's ass that they are breaking the law. I certainly will not give up my gun when they make it illegal.
There are limits to what the law can accomplish. And if they decided to send the national guard to search every citizen's home to enforce this law, you'd have a LOT more deaths on your hands than a few incidents of random violence like this. Trust me. You don't know America. People drive around with bumper stickers on their cars that say "you can take my gun when you pry it out of my cold, dead, hand" and these people are serious.
