When hasn't there been a trade in illegal firearms? Of course it's not going to stop the organised gangs etc from possessing them. BUT, your everyday joe on the street isn't going to be able to go out and kill on a whim is he. He has to go obtain a weapon from somewhere and that gives him more time for reflection on the consequences of his actions.

I...helpless...aaah, shit


I know how you feel. One of the first instances of this happened in central Ms. What a waste. What would make a person needlessly end innocent lives, as well as ruin or end his own?
It is truely a sad commentary on our modern society.

Thank you all.
Here the new facts: The boy was member of a sports marksman association, so it was easy for him to legally access the guns. But he was at the same time somebody with a preference for a special man-shooting videogame and heavy metal music with texts like "kill your teacher" and as far as I remember for horror videos. Online he called himself son of satan, you know what I mean.
He only wanted to kill teachers, the two pupils had been killed when he shot through a closed door.

What is the use for banning guns if this kind of people is growing up in our society? I mean, the guns are a tool that is easy to get, banned or not. We need a society that cares for the helpless, as I said above already. It is just difficult to see the signs, obviously he did not behave very odd before. It is always necessary to keep ways for everybody open to solve problems and to release aggressions. I think a gun ban would have a marginal effect, but there are more important things to do before.

Yeah, but who need an automatic weapon? They're only designed for one thing - rapid firing. That equates to rapid killing. People don't get a chance in those situations.

I agree, that is just dangerous trash.

It was with some desperately needed lucid PM’s from some Pixie people that I did not sin again and bring the insanity and frustration of life into our sanctuary when the Canadian soldiers were killed by my countries military. As hard as it is for me to agree with Lilith on something, I have to do it. It is not without conviction or opinion that I say I learned my lesson after my post last veterans day.
Pixies is my place of refuge and retreat from the world that will always be there to press and grind us into submitting to it’s regulations.:whiteghos All of us are quick to arms when we think someone has entered with commercial intent, or is offensive to one of the family. This is where we can discuss the merits of cummy panties or our happiest sexual memories. This is the only place I have for this and I like it.
You can PM me if anybody wants to talk about the insanity of the world or what you’ll meet when you come to hurt what I care about.

The actual gun laws in Germany are more strict than the states. Or so I was told when we lived there. Not that it helps after-the-fact. There will allways be weapons. There will allways be a need for them. It's too bad when someone feels the need is there when it is really unnecessary. I'm tired of this thread, I hope everyone here is safe.

I am sorry that your country has went through it's own "Colombine Shooting"...No child on this earth should be exposed to such violent danger and rage.... My heart goes out to all people involved.......

Just wish humanity would grow up and realise that GUNS KILL.

I hate hearing about things like this. I did also read about the same story that a teacher had managed to lock the guy in a room after persuading him not to shoot. ~ what a brave guy..

If i had a wish i would love to destroy all guns and have us all forget how to make them!!

Now where was I ......oh yes....Lilith can i have some strawberrys with my ice cream?? Maybe you could whip the cream for me!!

So sorry to hear that Steve...

its such a tragedy to hear this type of things happen so close to you. Its just happen so fast and you must be feeling so lost at the moment. Talk to your friends or your parents whom you may trust and tell them how you feel.

I wish you all the best and may god be with you always!

I am not a very religious person but, I think the world started changing when they took prayers out of school. After that everything started going down hill. If you spank your child you could go to jail, yet your daughter can have an abortion without your knowlege. I could go on for hours about all the things society royally screwed up. I am 36 and when I was growing up all my Dad had to do was give me the look and I knew I'd get my ass smacked if I didn't tow the line. Kids run the household too much these days.
