Bias?
Congratulations, you scored a free registration for Salon. I'm used to some of the best news editorials anywhere, and was taken aback by this one. First off, it is simply an opinion - that's fine, but being that it is on Salon, I'd like to well, be informed, and this is just a repetition of the same falsehood used every time the news sensationalizes a shooting. While I'm open to any sensible form of firearms laws, you did not, in any way, tell us why:
1) The reasoning behind repealing or restricting firearms from civilian use would prevent these events.
2) How waving a magic wand and eliminating all legally obtainable firearms would have affected the outcome or casualties.
3) How even having restriction forms would have prevented the event.
4) How firearms are somehow the enabling factor here; he could just as well ran them over with an SUV during when assembled outside. Spree killers tend to not be very smart.
