True.
But it's also much easier to purchase a gun... then to make a bomb.
I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

Is it? Have you looked into making explosives before? There's probably a long list of explosive mixtures that can be made from common, cheap stuff. A little creativity and I'm sure one could come up with something...

yea, but It's much easer to walk to a store and simply buy a gun.. But, if guns were illegal, who's to say the guy wouldn't just make a couple of bombs and kill a lot more people?

If you want compassion, talk to George W. Bush.

IMHO Bush is a fool.

And in relation to the post on drugs, they have that in (switzerland?) - drugs are legal and subsidised by the government. Crime dropped nearly 40%.

I'd say it's easier to buy some household chemicals and mix them up a li'l. I'm not a chemist though, and detonators would likely be the hardest part. Buying a gun will often (if not always) involve some paperwork and a background check. And a bomb could be much more discrete. Most of these people who commit crimes like this one save a bullet for themselves; they obviously have issues. If only we could catch those issues before they happened. We had a shooting here at my school two weeks ago where some jerk (it censored the first word I put ) killed his ex, then himself. The gal had already gotten a court protection order, but obviously the law can't stop a determined psycho.

I'll reply to the drug bit with the oldest comeback in the book: if you make less things illegal, you'll have less crime. Amazing how that works.

Unfortunately, Bush did mismanage quite a few things. On the one hand, I'll openly admit that. On the other, I worry what would happen if we'd had some pussyfooted democrat in office with a Republican congress. As we can already see with the Iraq legislation, things just aren't getting done like they used to. And I don't agree with lots of the typical Dem platform, so I'll be freaking when they have both the executive and legistlative branches again. And I'll be looking to move if the Clinton dynasty returns... (I would totally vote for Obama if it came to that)
