Connecticut school shooting - 27 dead

A car was. Maybe if he hadn't had access to the car, he wouldn't have been able to get to this school. Hard to hide all these guns and the crazy eyes while walking down the street or riding the bus.

Just think. No car...no deaths.

Good point. So lets weigh the utility to society of vehicles versus the utility to society of 30-clip semi-automatic rifles.

And while we're at it, maybe we should think about banning violent media as well. I mean...would this guy have even thought about shooting up a school if he hadn't seen others do it. Would he have perhaps been playing action movie moves out in his head as he went? If he hadn't been learning about fire discipline, recoil, aiming down the sights, and the tactical strengths and weaknesses of different weapons in different situations from Call of Duty...would he have been able to keep up sustained fire for so long...aiming, changing magazines, etc?

This violent media is just adding risk to society for the sake of recreation, and it ranks quite low on my give a shit meter. Off with its head. (Oh shit. There I go. So violent...)

So.....no analysis of the relative value of cars versus 30-clip semi-automatic rifles? Were you just trolling with the car remake or are you going to back up your comparison?
