yeah, I didn't realize it was a rave. Maybe that rave music had some subliminal messages.

On top of that, the man had a shotgun — a weapon that wouldn't likely be targeted by any sort of gun-control legislation in the U.S. After all, it's mainly used for hunting pheasants, quail and whatnot. Unlike, say, automatic weapons, which are designed to kill other people.

So a straight up "if you only had gun control!" argument here doesn't cut the mustard.

acutally, the shotgun had a pistol grip. There has been some moves to restrict combat shotguns and the like.

maybe dis needs to get his info on raves from somewhere else besides "a very special episode of saved by the bell: the college years"

that show was an accurate reflection of teenage society.

This sucks that an outsider like this can come in and not only kill people, but probably end up destroying the whole community.

Chances are the community will grow tighter and closer in response to this.

It sucks, but nobody is safe from psychos. Guns may make things easier, but they aren't the cause of violence.

His other "equipment" included a machete and enough rounds "for everyone," to partly quote an article that moved over the wires earlier Monday night.

The young women who died really were young — 14 and 15, respectively. The young men were in their 20s.

I always wonder what men in their 20s find in common with 14 and 15 year old girls

18 year old freshman can be stupid enough...

(I do admit that some 14 and 15 year old girls are attractive.. but..)

hopefully they find nothing in common, that would be illegal.

seriously. what do men have in common with women anyways? It's not like I have anything in common with women my same age. Okay, I realize I'm a special case. As I'm a freak. But even normal men don't seem to have much in common with women. Men and women are different.

Hmm. Last time I checked, there was no known connection among the victims, other than the fact that they apparently enjoyed attending raves. It's possible the young men invited the alleged killer into the rave, at least according to AP wire sources, but the young women were killed on the doorstep to the home (the men inside).
