I only objected to your initial statement/argument that 'assault weapons were never illegal' (which you have since changed into 'the assault ban was ineffective').  I never said the ban was not easily circumvented or remotely effective.

Why the hell did police release photos of the kid actually taking aim at people??

I HATE when the media pulls this stuff. As the kid said in his letter: "I'll be famous now". Thank you news media for indulging his ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up fantasy and encouraging even more nutso's to carry on the tradition.

I hope that one of these days when a person goes on a killing spree that they happen upon a off-duty/retired military person who has a concealed weapon permit. Here's to hoping they subdue the perp, blow off their kneecaps, cut off an ear, etc then hand them over to police to face their crimes. That will go a long way in making these nuts think twice before taking innocents down with them.

People who are "Nuts" are not exactly renown for their rational thinking. For example, what's the use in being famous, only after having killed oneself? Can't really use that fame for anything can you?  :dunno

People who do this kind of thing are cowards. They know that they can get away with doing anything they want past the point of turning back. If it starts to go South on them, they have the comfort that they can just pull the trigger on themself - no pain, no punishment, no long term consequences. The only thing that can scare them at that point is the fear of having to live, face MORE pain, and deal with what they did that they thought they were going to get away with.

I'm no psychology expert, but I get the feeling that, for instance, if the Columbine kids were stopped, overran, beaten within an inch of their lives and now in federal ass-pounding prison, we wouldn't have near as many dumbasses "going for the record".
