Not read the article yet. Was the shooter on SSRIs by any chance? And did the college have armed security? Or did it invite nutters to shoot it up by declaring it a gun-free zone?

A hand grenade is a WMD according to the US. The (surviving) Boston bomber was charging with using WMDs which tragically killed three.

Yet virtually all guns are quite capable of killing many more - but the US does not classify them as WMDs

Pastor on telly suggesting that the students should have been armed.

Pastor on telly suggesting that the students should have been armed.

They said on the telly this morning the gunman was asking "are you a Christian?". And if they replied yes they got shot in the head. If they said no they got shot in the legs.

That's what listening to pastors gets you.

When I read that the school (actually seems to be a college of adult education) had one unarmed security guard, I was expecting this kind of response from the gun nuts.

Does that mean that we shouldn't have armed security at airports?

Areas of transit are a magnet for nutters as they will be killing/maiming complete strangers.

However in a school or college you expect your mentally ill fellow student not to do so as they either know you or know of you, plus in theory there are counseling services for them to use.
