    And Chicago has seen an insane amount of gun crime as well in the past 2 or 3 weekends, I believe.

    When in the hell will America understand that their current gun laws are the problem?

    Weirdly, today is also the day that marijuana has been sold legally in shops for the first time.

    How long until some news agency tries to draw a comparison?

    OK -- this got a lot more messed up (yes, it's possible).

    The shooter posted about this on 4chan last night.

    Not that it matters, but you can open carry and buy guns in Oregon provided you are a resident.

    Another fcked up and tragic event.

    Can't remember who said it but they believed that if the public had seen some of the images from the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting (not necessarily bodies, but the classrooms), there would have been a nationwide drive to change their existing laws.

    Fact is, if the US can't introduce a single change in the law after a guy killed 20 children with a carbine, nothing will ever, ever change.

    I suggest you enter a classroom and tell people that you will take them as hostages. Make everyone get in one corner and then open fire.

    Make sure that there is no way that someone can disarm you as it it possible. I suggest you carry a knife on your belt as last resort if someone is holding your gun.

    You might want to target a girls school which is safer because there are no beta males throwing themselves for their rescue.

    Do not use a shotgun. I would suggest a powerful assault rifle and a pistol or 2x pistols. Possibly the type of pistols who have 15+ ammo

    It is sad to say, but it is really not shocking at this point, it is terrible when it happens, but it is just happening too often, I have family in Chicago and there have been dozens of shootings there in the last couple of months and nearly 20 in one weekend, admittedly not in a large grouping like this, but it is barely making the news over there.

    Yeah it's tragic but I don't think any gun laws will change at a federal level. The NRA have too much power in congress. If Sandy Hook wasn't enough to bring about change then nothing will, strange they were able to take the guy alive, normally the people who do this want to die in process. I wonder would he be of Arabic descent and what his motives were?

    Watching it live, they have interviewed 3 different people from the area and they are all giving a different report of what has happened, a bit of flip flopping going with the presenters as well.

    One even said that a paramedic, who is friends with his wife told her that that shooter was female, all seems like hearsay so far with these locals they are interviewing.

    Whilst I wouldn't be surprised to see the media latch onto 4chan as being the root cause of the shooting, not everyone who uses the site engages in that sort of posting and the various boards attract all sorts.

    There's a slim chance that the person on 4chan wasn't the shooter, but it feels like too much of a convenience for it not to be them. I completely agree that the dregs of society only use 4chan. Wonder how many of the people encouraging them now realize that they are now indirectly (though, possibly more directly) responsible for those deaths - or - more accurately - do they care?

    Chicago actually has some of the strictest gun laws in the U.S. The problem there is guns illegally obtained by gang members. Banning guns won't stop people getting them illegally. I don't know what the cause of the problem is, it seems there is something fundamentally wrong with American society, but it's a little late for changing the law considering there are hundreds of millions of privately owned guns in the country.

    It is the mindset of owning/using a gun. I met a guy kept one in his car in case he was "jacked." Another couple of guys I knew (lived beside) treated their guns like they were pets and reminisced about their first gun. The older bloke (70's) had the attitude that if anyone broke into his house he'd blow them away. "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" was his motto. Pretty representative of a large number of the population I would think.

    It just goes to show the level of fear and paranoia that is ripe in American society, massively piled on by news stations like Fox.

    Said it before, say it again if you want to own a gun in the States you should have to do a mandatory number of hours a month community service guarding Schools/Colleges.

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
