same sh*t, different day...

It's actually very sad to see that the world has come to that. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would honestly believe that taking out a gun and shooting up a bunch of innocent people would be something that would somehow be beneficial to anything or any cause that they are trying to support. I can understand people getting angry and frustrated and wanting to find ways to vent that frustration, but clearly that frustration in itself needs to be channeled within another outlet. Doing something like that is just a sad, pathetic way of lashing out and I can never understand why hurting anyone would be a good thing. I wish that people would just take the time to look beyond whatever situation they are experiencing or rather whatever misguided notion is clouding their thoughts and experiences in the moment in time and realize that simply lashing out in a negative, hurtful fashion is never the answer. Even if someone was bored and looking for something to do, violence is never an answer. There are much more positive outlets to expressing your anger and frustrations without putting someone in harm's way. Stories like these very seldom surprise me anymore, but they are poignant because it is just another example of how far society is coming in losing touch with what is really important in this world.

I think you would hear about your country's, but not the others, on a regular basis. Unless of a sensational event. Sorta like news in the US only goes national when it is a big event. Otherwise stays in that state or next states over. However, I would have to say that if you took 4 countries that were close in total population to the US and then just looked at gun crime, you would still see equal percentages. There is one small thing about europe compared to the US that does make some differences. I know there is more control on TV violence, and more openness on nudity and sexuality there. This does make some difference in peoples actions to a degree.

This is why i am glad to be british, yes we may have the chaviest population in the world but at least we are not obsessed by guns. I would never want to have to make a living over there, especailly not owning a newsagent or any shop for that matter.

I do have to feel sorry for anyone who knew the poor people shot though

Xtreme, you have got to be kidding. The US has nothing to do with Canada's gun crime. Period. Secondly, guns were legal in EVERY country back when they first came out. So that idea of making them banned from the get go is moot. Unless you think people should have been put in jail back in the 1500-1700 for hunting food, or fighting of bandits. I am not saying that EVERYONE needs a gun. However, simply that when NO ONE has a gun criminals are braver since they are safe from harm. This is a big difference. Also last time I checked non-US citizens cannot buy firearms in the US. No ability to do a background check as is currently required.

It's not a gun problem. I could probably go out and get a gun right now some way some how, maybe even legally, I don't know, but you can also do this elsewhere.

It happens in the USA, Happens in Canada, happens in the UK. Happens everywhere. It's not a isolated incident in the world that only happens in the USA.

There are depressed people all over the world. It's just when it happens in the USA its all over the media throughout the world, but if something like this happened elsewhere it probably wouldn't get much attention. It's said, but its true. I guess its the media with the sensationalism or something. I don't know.

if the dang health care industry in the USA wasn't all about making money then alot of these people would be able to get real help. I know that if you're crazy you can get put into a hospital and locked up, but who wants that? Also you can get mental help, but its only limited and you have to take all the actions yourself. If you're so far into the mental crazy thing then you aren't going to care enough to force yourself to get help because you're already feeling worthless enough anyways. I don't know.

But i think maybe the cost of all this is the only difference in the USA. Maybe not, i don't know if you have to pay for that sort of thing elsewhere.

I can maybe understand the killing yourself part, but why kill others with you? Is it because you're too scared to do it alone and you know after you kill others you'll have to kill yourself or something? I don't understand that at all. I think anyone who takes someone else's life is a pathetic worthless loser that doesn't deserved to be remembered at all. Should never make that choice for anyone else.

But i do wonder whats going on in the world today that is causing this? Maybe its been around forever though. I don't think video games nor movies could trigger anyone to do anything. I used to play mario bros all the time and i've never wanted to crush bricks with my skull ha. Maybe something else. But i think it's been around for ever because this type of stuff has always been happening in one way or another. It's sad. Human nature kinda sucks.

Sometimes i wish that i could go back into time when i was a little kid and hadn't yet realized how the world really was.

Xtreme, it is a foolish point. And I say that with no disrespect. Your argument is like saying that because McDonalds sells fast food I am fat. Your countries gun crime problems are due to criminals who elect to commit them and get gund illegally. Even if guns were banned from the start that would not change anything. Guns would have still been created for police and military. This in turn would mean that some would be stolen, or syphoned off into a black market, and you would end up with the same problem in most gun banned places. High amounts of gun/violent crime, and crime rates being much higher because people don't have the ability to protect themselves.

[LP-SolidRaven]

If they wouldn't sell the guns in the first place than there would be no need for people to have one to "protect" themselves. Almost nobody here has a gun (except a few people that go hunting) and there is almost no violence. So your whole "gun for security" argument is rather crappy.
