Who said he was mentally challenged? From family and friends they say he was a quiet person but very normal and also very intelligent and a computer nerd. He was even a member of a technical computer club.
I don't think he was mentally challenged, I think he was mentally ill. According to many reports, he at the very least had a personality disorder.
It gives you the illusion that you would have a chance. I think it would be more valuable to actively work on reducing the chances that you would be in a life threatening situation.
It's not an illusion.. I have owned guns all of my life and am very proficient.. As far as not putting myself in a situation that could be life threatening, I still have to work and I still enjoy eating, so I am forced in many instances to go into some situations that have the potential to be life threatening. Learn to be critical of the man and not the tool.. That is what a gun is.. It is a tool. In the right hands, it can be handled responsibly and safely. In the wrong hands, it can be dangerous.
If God was in the man's heart, he never would have pulled the trigger. Don't blame God for what people do. Our inept abilities to see straight, it's on us.
You do realize this is the same God who condoned killing children and women, as well as forcing women into marriage with their captors?
Psych testing. Sign off from a doctor. Yearly renewal of license.
It is WAY too easy to buy a gun, I say that as a gun owner.
The propensity for this sort of violence is unpredictable.
I cannot imagine any MD putting their license and business at risk to evaluate the masses and the cost of Malpractice insurance would not be practical.
Couldn't rep u again yet, but the American govt is indeed slaughtering thousands of innocent people including children every year! Why no outrage?

If only Americans were this outraged over the lives of innocent people we have killed and are killing all over the world!
And then the government has the audacity to tell me they are going to ban firearms and that institution itself is responsible for MILLIONS of death around the world.
An average adult male could kill an entire kindergarten class with his bare hands if they couldn't escape.
It's substantially less likely to occur. It's the absence of an emotional and physical connection with other humans that likely makes a gun the weapon of choice in mass murders, like this one.

We are in a world that doesn't value life anymore. This is the result.
The same as all the societies that have come and gone before us. We digress, that's what we do. Even though we know better, we don't seem to be that smart. We didn't learn anything from past extinct civilizations. We read about those ancients civilizations, our professors teach of them in college. Shoot you can turn on the TV series "Bones" and get some ideas on how it was for them.
Then for us to just go and repeat their same pattern(s)...~i shake my head~ We're not smarter than them, at all.
