He had to have more issues than just him losing. You are say he knew he was going to loss that is why he already had a gun with him.

Couser My thoughts are with the family's of those injured or killed America need to get rid of there gun laws and ban them already
this happens because of our gun laws we aren't allowed to have guns on certain property. If we were allowed he probably would have been dead before he killed the second person. I guaranteed the gun he had wasn't even registered to him. It's too easy to get a gun off the black market so banning them wouldn't do anything.


No, this happens because this country cant be trusted. Allowing more guns as a way to prevent something like this is NOT the answer. If it is, let's give everyone nukes so that the world will never have to worry about going up in flames.

Your nuke analogy is significantly different than how you try to tie it with guns. If every country in the world were to have nukes, the outcome would be that no nukes would be used. Why? If you were the leader of a small country, why would you try and nuke USA if you knew they and every one of their allies also had them. You would be instantly obliterated. The logical answer would be, I will not nuke someone because I know I will be retaliated with a greater force.

like i said on a post on facebook america would be an amazing country like canada if the laws for guns was strict like the canadian laws for guns cant have guns in public at all no matter what hint why canada doesnt have alot of mass shooters i only know one which was dawson college i believe, but still america is a hell on earth why these always happens there and not in 3rd world countries or even in other 1st world countries, only in america there will be a mass shooting or school shooting, like i said canada doesnt have alot of shootings does that mean it doesnt happen no im just saying our gun laws are better then that of the american laws, like peace two and two together no guns=no shootings unless youre insane or a dumbsh*t, many americans want to believe they have the right to use fire arms no you shouldnt have rights to carry around guns in public or even in public places, only place you should have a gun is in the ghetto, but yeah there are so many ways america can become a good nation without mass shootings every two days and the first way is have the similar law like canada for gun control, i feel sorry for the people who lost their lives because of a kid.
