Cho was fucking insane.

That's it. That's the answer everyone's looking for. He was a sick fucking psychotic killer - just look at the new videos/pictures he sent to NBC. There's no one to blame but his fucked up mind.

Also...

What the hell is this with pro-gun morons on TV saying the answer to school shootings is... TO FUCKING LEGALIZE STUDENTS

Frankly, I don't like the idea of having armed security all over the place either. One of the things about gun culture in US is that the people who tend to have them (as in, a lot of them) and carry them, tend to be the people who raise their kids to respect guns.

These are the people who teach their kids to never point a gun at something they aren't willing to destroy, that unless a gun is lying in pieces on your table, you should treat it as if it were loading, even if you can plainly see that it's not.

Gun culture isn't the problem, it's the fact that we don't raise our children to respect guns, only that they are dangerous, bad and something that only rednecks and gangsters carry.

As for the inner city gang issue....if they didn't shoot each other, they would stab each other, if they couldn't do that, they would still find a way.

I don't trust that security will be everywhere I need them, not in a state-run institution. I'd rather protect myself then hope that the one person in the vicinity is armed happens to be looking in my direction when something goes down.

Why have security at all then? Why have police? Everyone should just carry their own heat and make their own judgment call on when to use it and how.

There's no systematic way of clearing people to be permitted to bring a gun to school because they "respect the gun."

I'm not saying turn schools into a police state, but to revise their security to ensure they have adequate coverage and be routinely trained on gun shooting scenarios.
