I heard today that the gunman was a Bosnian Muslem immigrant. I don't know if this is true or not, but I would like to know the motive (or the lack thereof in the case of insanity if that is the case)

No motive to be found
They killed that sob and he will tell no more tales for that is the fate of a dead man. Maybe he just needed some sleep.

This is getting rediculous. It almost makes you think gun control is a good idea, but the 1998 statistics from Austrailia make that idea a huge bust.
Austrailia passed laws in 1997 to destroy over 600,000 personal firearms. Hunters were required to check guns out from government agencies and return them at the end of the hunting season. By the following year, homocides involving guns AND hot burgularlies were EACH up 300%. By the way, a hot burglury is when an intruder breaks in when they know you are home. We obviously can't control guns, so what else could we do to stop the shootings that continue to happen more and more across the states (not to mention being initiated by younger and younger people)? |

Anime makes an excellent point. Gun laws/control do NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, since by definition, a criminal does not observe the law. An armed citizenry is the best way to minimize and sometimes even prevent such tragedies.
