This kind of publicity is exactly why these things perpetuate.

The names in your poll shouldn't even be known to us. When a mass murderer does his thing, we should always suppress the name, and maybe mention the act somewhere on page 14 of the newspaper. We should not glorify these lunatics like they were some sort of hero by making them front-page news, nor should we make polls that gives others a goal to top.

Yes you did, and we should place you at the top of a poll about those who butcher topic titles.

As to the persons you listed in your poll, it doesn't matter if a person takes one life or millions, a killer is a killer, the only difference is the ones that take one life often don't make news headlines.

You're still talking about it, just like the media. What's your agenda?

George W. Bush for letting the assault weapons ban expire. That man sure has a lot of blood on his hands for his bad decisions.

What you stated is true, but let us not forget that our current esteemed POTUS thinks that it is just fine and dandy for people with documented, severe mental illness to buy guns:

Not to mention invading a sovereign country that was of no threat to us that resulted in over 4,000 Americans dead and over 100,000 Iraqis dead.

But for the poll it would have to be the Vegas killer since he killed the most.
