I can't recall a police station being shot up either. Hassan picked a venue at Fort Hood where he knew there would be no guns. It's obvious to anyone with common sense.

Communication is important. What needs to be communicated to the disturbed is not special consideration, thats for the contained ....communication that things like this are simply impossible to express. If a public release was made authorizing carriers in the 1000's upon review the women and children in the communities would feel safer. Pull out a gun in a public place and you have a dozen guns in your face in seconds. I don't understand why you would work against the 1000's of guns out there owned by good people when they are so easy to get by the disturbed people. In short a new environment is in need where the disturbed violent person is showed zero mercy. Theres too much about the sickness for my liking, leave it in the clinic where you have control doc... and not enough about your going down in seconds if you think society is the villain.

Maybe because it probably would barely make the news? And nobody would care much? Just a guess.

I that the people that do things like this will go after the weaker people of society, not the ones that are likely armed and able to protect themselves.

Here is something that isn't in the mainstream news: Media blackout: Oregon mall shooter was stopped by an armed citizen - Virginia Beach Conservative | Examiner.com

a society needs to do more then say, oh that is sickness whatever and we will reduce the guns. There needs to be a responce to the violent disturbed, they know who they are. These snap outs don't just happen, they are considered for meaning in the mental case's demented head. Insane wolves out there, its not enough to know they are insane. If only the violent disturbed had guns..the gov would be promoting buying guns, therefore reducing would be the opposite of a rational path to get tough with disturbed people who think society is the villain.

I think it's more about getting the most attention they can get. They know they are going out so they want people to remember them and they want to be talked about even if it take a horrible act.

I mean open fire at a gun show? That would be like a drug addict overdosing at a drug party. Who would even notice or care?
