From here.
QUOTE One law enforcement official said the shooter had body armor with him and was heavily armed, with a large amount of ammunition -- enough for a prolonged gunfight. Authorities recovered three pistols and one rifle at the scene, one official said.
But fear not, reactionaries have seized upon this opportunity to make sweeping, absolute statements based on their emotional state after a trauma.
QUOTE We are engaged in a war in this country. It is a war between rational, responsible people and self-interested zealots; a war between good and evil.
...
On one side of that war is a group that is successfully fighting to ensure that a discussion to try to find solutions never takes place. Everyone knows of whom I'm talking: the National Rifle Association.
...
On the other side are the families and their circles of loved ones whose lives have been shattered by the devastation of gun violence.
I know you lost a kid when someone shot her on live TV a month ago, but you're being a dick.
QUOTE It is not sufficient to say, "There's nothing you can do to prevent someone, even someone who is mentally ill, from getting a gun if they want it." Something can be done if we try hard enough.
There is nothing you can do to prevent someone, even someone who is mentally ill, from seeing that the premise of their argument is based on flawed hope.

I've begun on other forums to say, when someone says, "The NRA will not let this discussion happen,"
"Hi, I'm from the NRA and I am here to tell you to stop having this discussion."
No one ever knows what to say.

What if, the next time some jackass talked about how the second amendment is useless because you can't fight the government with deer rifle, a pro-gun person replied:
Dumbass, they don't need to shoot the government. They just need to shoot YOU. You, who posted on Facebook about how you hate guns and would never own one. You, who also posted on Facebook your name, pics of you and your kids, the place where you work, the places you like to go for dinner, the venues you're at on the weekend.
That would be terrible, wouldn't it? I wouldn't condone that.

Killer seems rather emo.
QUOTE "He says, 'Many will ask how can they have prevented this? You can't. You could never give me what I wanted. Nothing could have stopped it,' " the source tells PEOPLE.
"He talks about other mass killers, and says, 'These people were denied everything they deserved and wanted.' "
Mercer then purportedly expresses skepticism that anything could have turned his life around: "He asks, 'What was supposed to happen? What great event was supposed to make me realize I had so much going for me?' " the source says.
Abandoned and alone, Mercer allegedly writes, "I've been forced to align myself with these demons and become one of them. At first, it was involuntary, but now I am aligned with them. I now serve. When I die I will become one of them."
He adds: "My success in Hell is assured."
