  Why these shootings occur is an important question but it is much less important than the fact that are happening and innocent people, even children, are being killed. Since that IS the case the point made by the NRA'a executives, whether you like them or not, is valid and the one to be resolved first. I think our first responsibility is to protect the children and to do that the best answer is putting weapons in the hands of the right people in the right places. Trained defenders, properly vetted with the right firearm between the killer and his intended victim is the best way to stop the crime. Changing the culture is necessary too but let's go about all that has to be done in the right order. Please, lets stop letting less important points matter as much as the lives of our children.

  Hmmm, the US govt rains death and destruction over Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, etc. like no power before it but thats not influencing our violent, blood-thirsty culture. But a filmmaker makes one movie about violent people and suddenly its corrupting young people? ridiculous!
  reminds me of that Chris Rock bit: "white man makes guns that kill people, no one says a word. black rapper SAYS gun...congressional inquiry!".

  So conditioning by Hollywood and the video game "first person shooter" industry has nothing to do with it all? Your power fantasies are irrelevant?
  
  Talk about "knee jerk."
  
  All of the above are guilty, including the prescription antidepressants that are involved most of the time - http://tinyurl.com/cgyztbc
  
  Better security at schools, including an armed police officer on campus is a reasonable measure to consider.

  Yes, the solution should be to further facilitate the police state that the United States is quickly becoming. There's been much talk about gun control, but in reality, these shooting will result in the opposite. There will be a push to make sure that every American is armed.

  Funny how every other country on earth watches all of the same violent movies we do (in fact, they're even MORE successful overseas) only they don't seem to have the same gun problems as we do... Hmm, what's the outlier? Oh yeah, they have gun control and social services in other countries.... meh, that probably has nothing to do with it...

  1994 wasn't almost 3 decades ago
