    Neither video games, nor guns are at fault here. I have both violent video games and a few of those scary guns that people like to call "assault weapons." Neither of them have influenced me nor anyone who has come in contact with me to go crazy. This is all the fault of inadequate support to an obviously unstable person. Makes me wonder why you don't see more public outcry for an over-haul of the mental healthcare system. They're actually closing down the facility in my area that's used to house the insane and they're being lumped into the same facility with the mentally handicapped. That place isn't even properly equipped to house said people either.

    And did the kids all have to sneak off to another town to dance?

    Now I gotta cut loose....
    Apply blizzards model to any other subscription service,you'd be outraged:
    Netflix adds no new movies for a year, you click a new movie, there's a $5 fee.
    You're in an accident, click your onstar button, but there's an addition $20 fee for them to help.
    You turn on your tv only to find all you get are the infomercial channels. Every other show is pay per view.
    See how dumb that model is?

    Damn.... If I lived in Connecticut I would go there and just loot all of the video games and such before they got to burn them.
    These aren't the spoilers you're looking for.

    Move along.

    Religion has also helped many people. It's just silly to speak only ill of something while completely ignoring the good. It boils down to people caring too much about what other people believe.

    I hope they choke on the fumes.
    Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If someone wants someone dead, they'd do it regardless of having a gun. $1000 says if just ONE person in that school had a gun, haft or even 3/4 of the people killed would still be alive today. But since it was kids that were killed, people go into a blind rage and completely ignore the main reason we have guns in the first place. FOR PROTECTION.

    You mean like entertainment compared to the rare but sure to happen killing sprees?

    Sounds like a good way to get rid of some old games people don't play anymore to me, right after I have sex with a hooker, kill her for my money back, then run over her body and beat her with a bat, be back later!

    I know that guns don't kill people. But an insane man who gets his hand on a gun does more damage than an insane man who gets his hand on a video game or a chocolate bar. I doubt you need automatic guns to defend yourself.

    $1000 says if nobody had a gun, only one or two people would've died.

    An insane man with a car will do more damage with the car than the gun, especially if he's in a metropolitan area. What would happen if you plowed though a crosswalk at say, 8 AM in New York City? There's a pretty good chance that you'd kill a similar number of people, or more if you're using a large vehicle like an F-250 or similar. It's not the gun's fault, nor is it the availability of them. He obtained his weapons illegally. It's purely the fault of an inadequate system. Even then, none of the weapons he used were automatic. Automatic weapons are incredibly expensive for the average person and there's a pretty hefty amount of red tape you have to go through to obtain one legally.

    Books are pretty much wooden blocks about half their size. I'm talking about pretty big books here. As for chopping wood, you need wood in order to chop it. Some places have cheap firewood, others are pretty expensive.
