"DEKALB, Ill. - Authorities say a man dressed in black opened fire from a stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University, killing four people and himself..."

5 dead, 14 wounded acording to the latest, and I am sick of this. NIU is where my wife recieved her masters degree and where I have trained in the summers for cycling events. This is just insane.

Not so isolated Norbert. There have been a number of these shootings and the frequency does appear to be increasing. |

'Insane'
you say Camelot.
But just look at your Leader Evil Bush.
He is rushing around the world before he is out of Office
& like our Evil Blair he is in a International Hit list,
Bush does nothing in home policy to deal with this
mental ex-student gun killing USA trend. |

the gun club of America will roll out Charlton Heston to say"It is an Americans right to bear arms,It is in the constitutional rights"that is what he said about the high school shooting.Just look at what is happening in our own country gangs are buying stun guns and all sorts of other weapons just so they can match police fire power!!FACT |

Well, for starters ... end all personal arsenals. I really do not see the need for every single individual in a community to have the right to bear arms. It will in all likelihood not put an end to all gun-crime but it will certainly cut down on the number of nut-cases that decide they don't like Mondays.
I'm sorry you feel so bed about it. Things always seem worse when it involves someone, something or someplace you personally know well. |
