Criminal Deeds

Nice strawman argument there.

Perhaps when you start using your head for something other than a hat rack, I'll start reading your posts again on a regular basis, and perhaps (gasp!) even take them seriously.

Don't be such a moron FIT. Have you stopped to think just for two seconds before you posted this? Probably not because else you would know Deebye was being sarcastic.

And will you be heading the ministry that decides who is wicked and who is good?

The ease of killing is for sure a very important factor here and needs to be taken into account. I read that in Holland every year a few 100 (maybe 1000) people commit suicide. We just had two cases of people who were constantly bullied. I am sure that a percentage of these kinds of people (maybe 5%) would consider going out with a blow. So if only it would be easy to get your hands on some guns we would see this thing happening more often for sure.

Again, the cause is not the gun (the cause is people being bullied or people have serious mental issues) but they do surely facilitate things a lot. Getting a gun is a great tool if you are angry at the world, but going around and trying to stab your classmates (with a more or less 0 chance you will be killed yourself so instead of going out with a bang you spend the rest f your life in prison) is not really an option for most except the craziest few.
