Individual caused massacres: No Quick Fix to the Problem

[sonious]

The cause of the Colorodo has caused many to be up in arms about arms. However, when reading through the history of the individual behind the attacks and from the possible motive what is actually more likely is that the debate should not be about guns. It should be about the expense of secondary education

The problem is there are any number of things that can make a normally rational human being go off the deep end. And this is how we are always encouraged to rationalize it. Columbine, let's not do away with guns, let's stop school bullying. Mail room shooting, let's not do away with guns, let's try to improve the work environment. And now you say, let's not worry about the guns, let's make sure academics get support

AR-15s sure. I'm not saying guns don't need to be looked at

Apparently not such a brilliant mind... so then that shifts to another theory.

I was a "above average" student and even I didn't go for a PhD... to me that speaks of parents that are pressuring a kid to be something he didn't want.

That bug that exists in the human brain that leads people you would never have suspected to committing mass murder is rarely visible. It is sometimes a quirk of rationality, a unique logical perspective, or an emotional problem that one hides, knowing it will not be understood
