Gunman shoots 18 people.

Speaking of grisly murders, there was one here in Japan a couple days ago.
SURVIVOR'S HANDS LOPPED OFF
Family ax murder-suicide claims three
Kyodo News

Three members of a family were found dead Monday afternoon in a suspected murder-suicide at their home in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, and another was found alive but severely mutilated, police said.

Listed in critical condition, the survivor, a 15-year-old boy, told rescuers as he was being rushed to a hospital that his father had attacked him. The youth was found with his hands chopped off and the back of his head caved in, Nishiarai Police Station officials said.

The deceased have been identified as Toru Sasaki, 52, his wife, Kazuko, 49, and his mother, Tokuko, 84. The boy, in his first year of high school, has only been identified as Sasaki's second son, police said.

Anybody want to argue against gun control now?

You really want to start this following a shooting in an area considered a gun-free zone?

Yeah, I'm game... although it's late so I may not respond until morning.

Well, it's gonna come up sooner or later.

We can't wait for the next shooting to start debating on it.
 
Hold on, I'll do it for you:

If he didn't have a gun, this never would have happened.

If someone else had a gun he could have been stopped.

*repeat*

These cases get less rare by the minute.

Less rare or more sensationalized?

Murder rates have been dropping since the drug wars of the early 80's.

What we have is suicidal scumbags who want to take out others before they off themselves because they somehow see this as a blaze of glory. Probably just a matter of time before they start strapping bombs to themselves to up the death toll even more.

A few years ago we had a girl who tried to kill herself by colliding head-on with another car. She lived, but 3 guys in the other car were killed. She only got a sentence of 8 years*... :(

Suicide used to be a private thing, apparently that's not the case any more.


*likely she'll be out in 2.

Let's just not give them the rope they need. If they can't get guns then at least that'll be one good thing.

Of course you could argue that they would come up with another weapon to use, but at least guns (their prefered choice it would seem at the moment) will be out of the equation.
