Here is a rather unfortunate but I suspect all-too-typical an example: TEXTING THE ACTIONS It's all to do with people... Only in the USA?! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Gee just think what may have happened Do you mean the one who was called Steenkamp? Perhaps most people simply should not have guns to hand. All in our only one world, Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

While Holding a Blood Soaked Spear, Iceman Comments: I know, what if no one in that scenario had a gun? What 'if' No One Held a Spear? What 'if' No One Had Hands, Arms, Legs, A Brain? I See, Less Killing Due to 'Lack' of 'Proper' 'Tools' equals...? Yeah, As Long As Some One, 'is' Not The 'Some' 'One' Dying. Lower 'Numbers' Always Brings About A Contented Happy People.

Oh dear, America's issues working it's way further North. This is so heartbreaking. Its in an area of Canada where there are more guns because families have them for hunting. Not sure yet what the details of this case is, but as a teacher I am well aware that one day, an angry teenager may get access to a gun and I will be in the position of having to protect my students. I will probably end up dead and leave my sons without a mother. We have to practice drills for an armed shooting in the school. Guns should not be so easily available. I don't feel safe, and I don't think my children are safe. This gun obsession has to stop. Reality Internet Personality |

Oh dear, America's issues working it's way further North. If not guns it will be knives, bombs or something else. If you really want it to stop then you need to change culture into tolerance of others. Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. but realize tolerance means you don't get upset with misogynistic put downs |

Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. It may have been bred into our species long before we were homo sapiens. |

Unfortunately, the God of Abraham teaches the opposite. Yes, I think so. Competition for resources / reproduction. It seems only in Sci-Fi worlds like Star Trek where resources are free (replicators) that there is little conflict between humans. Tearing that portion of our brain stem out isn't going to be easy and may not be desirable long term. |

Bombs aren't easy to get. Someone wielding a knife is not going to hurt so many people. I know, I've been in schools where students have bought in knives. Had those students had guns I probably wouldn't be here today. You simply cannot equate knives and guns. Reality Internet Personality |

They teach it in high school Chemistry. |

Maybe on US curriculum, but I've taught high school chemistry for over 10 years and bomb making has never come up. Besides, making a bomb would take effort. Angry teenagers and effort don't usually go hand in hand. Reality Internet Personality |

http://gizmodo.com/5831942/how-the-hell-did-a-17-year-old-get-the-materials-to-make-bombs <ed>So your high school chem classes never discussed exothermic reactions? |

Making a bomb is a different kettle of fish. I am sure the instructions are available on the internet, but its a bit more complicated than knowing exothermic reactions. Have you met the average high school student, let alone tried to teach them chemistry? A small minority will be able to make a bomb that would actually detonate when its supposed to. They would not be taught that in high school chemistry, I am not sure what you think goes on in high school chemistry, but the leap from being taught the theory of something to being able to apply it is pretty big. I have enough trouble getting them to realise that the straight line graphs they learn about in maths is the same sort we use in science. Not to mention, most students don't even take senior chemistry. How many of my students would able to make a bomb and hurt a lot of people? Some. How many of my students would be able to use a gun to hurt and kill a lot of people? 100% of them. You are right, a determined person can make a bomb, with a lot of effort and some smarts. The problem with guns is that they are so available and easy to use that it doesn't take a determined person. Reality Internet Personality |

I could give you a " recipe " for making a explosive right now but im not that stupid to post it here ( you could find it with a serch engine and a couple of clicks of a mouse ) . It's not hard at all and dont take that long to make up either , mix it with a few nuts and bolts its deadly . I knew how to do it when I was 14 so im fairly sure a schoolkid would be able to assemble and detonate if they really wanted to As Clyde said explosives are easy to make and use Life is what you make of it :-) When i'm good i'm very good , but when i'm bad i'm shi#eloads better ;-) In't I " buttercups " p.m.s.l at authoritie !!;-) |

Yes explosives are very easy to make. More easier than getting a gun with ammo. Even though that in the Nordic countries we a lot of guns and rifles around. |
