Having access to a gun doesn't make you kill a ton of kindergarteners. It takes a sick person to do that

Being heavily mobbed every day might make you go mad, and having access to something which can stop it once and for all is something they may consider in their state.

...just like how suicides in the UK were cut by a third when they introduced regulations against gas heavy with carbon monoxide so that people couldn't just easily do it in their own kitchens without much pain any longer.

I heard the shooter was upset cause xbox live free weekend just ended.

Plus if they don't have guns, they use knives. Just look at China.

Because we can!

Yesyes, I already joked about that if they don't have guns, they use fire like in Sweden, so I know that it won't necessarily work in a desired way :P

yeah, if common means, 3 or 4 in the last 6 years. (confirming that, haven't followed news for the last 3 years)

and ... and the oldest one is from -89, but it wasn't shooting. the next one after that was Jokela.

Go look at the Mass Effect facebook page, lots of angry anti-gamers who think it caused the shootings. Silly people

Of all the games to blame, they picked that one?

Isn't the point of it just to see how many cross species babies you can have?

I think it was something to do with the shooter posting online that he had an interest in it. These people will flock anywhere they can to complain

It just doesn't make sense to me. If they fired the guy, why take it out on innocent people?
