This is just a small side effect of having letting anyone have weapons - fortunately no other folks were killed.

Only my - it matters little who has a licence for firearms. They fact that they have them or can possess them quickly is a problem. Everyone *could*, at some time in their lives go thru a looney period - and if they have arms available, hell knows what the result can be.

It's easy to blame the shooters, (sure they are the immediate target for blame), tho there is usually a background story. Some simply have a mental problem, others have been abused for years and seeking revenge, - who knows what the story is behind this young lad who allegedly planned this for some time, - but there sure as hell is a story behind that.

Another factor in this specific case is how the hell did he access an assault weapon in the first instance? Where are the parents?

Bottom line - you get the society your create and there can be good and bad from that. There is a cost for the bad, and the whole society usually have a role in the responsibility for the bad.
