Originally posted by Timber Loftis: Well, so much for not introducing the gun debate. Does that mean you can't outlaw something if it is considered a social ill? What about drugs?? A proactionary law (outlawing something seen as a social ill BEFORE it can be put to ill use) abounds in the law. Sorry, but if the government can tell you you must wear a seatbelt, it can certainly tell you you can't own a gun. (Note - I'm NOT saying it *should*, just that it *can* and *does* and it is not seen as abuse).

Actually, seat belt laws do overstep .... and they allow police officers (not saying that they all do) the opportunity to harass motorists, without providing much to the public. I'll start another topic on this debate, don't want to distract from the current thread.

Back on topic ... this guy is most likely 30-50 white and male. Just hope they don't find out that he play roleplaying games or listened to Brittny Spears or something or the media will blame those as the cause of this psyco's killing spree and call for them to be outlawed .... for preventitive reasons of course . On second thought maybe Brittny Spears should be outlawed .... . Anyway, I just hope they catch him soon.
