Funny right before this post I was thinking what would happen if there were few (normal) people with guns at that time. Fewer dead bodies.

It was pretty clear there were no obvious links to terrorism, else everybody would have been screaming about how there were no links to terrorism and besides islam is a religon of peace. Every time since 9/11 some mooselimb screams allahu akbar and mows down Jews or Americans, the press is quick with "There are no indications that this is terrorism."
How about all the recent deadly violence in Africa (Darfur, Sierra Leone, Congo, etc.) Was that a product of video games too? <b>This thread is full of people lashing out blindly, trying in vain to latch onto <i>something</i> to blame.</b> The fact is, a small minority of the human race is somehow 'wired' to become natural born killers. This just isn't something that can be explained or rationalized. The best solution I can come up with, is for science to greatly advance our understanding of how the human brain works, and then devise innovative methods to identify and treat these natural born killers before they have a chance to take their deadly toll on society.
