I cited the china incident as proof that crimes will be commited, guns or no. If guns are around, yes, they will be used. Gun regulations will prevent crime, but not stop it.
What an intriguing can of worms you opened here. In the China incident, 22-children were stabbed, but non killed. In the Connecticut incident, 26-victims were murdered. The difference? Death. Guns not the issue?
Personally, I think holidays are the blame:
Oregon Mall
Vegas Casino
Alabama Hospital
All around the same time, random acts of violence spurred by the holidays. You really want to stop this nonsense around this time, get rid of the holidays! (FYI, I'm only being half serious here, but I know how the net can skew what you say, so I'm better off clarifying now).
EDIT: And my heart, mind, and soul whole-heartily goes out to the families of the Connecticut shooting. I actually teared up listening to the news this morning. Such sick people. I really wish that mother f-er didn't kill himself! What a chicken-shit way to go! He should face his crimes in a court of law. God, I can't even think about it, getting so upset!
