I heard on the Michael Savage program yesterday that this is not, in fact, the worst mass killing. His story was that in 1928, a school board member set dynamite charges over a period of weeks, in the school where he had some alleged grievance. Blew it all up, killing 45(including himself) and injured another 54. Michael Savage is conservatisms own raving lunatic, of course, and I have not way to verify this story. The important point is that in every case, the lunatic killer has shown signs of being a lunatic for some time and the signs were ignored by family and friends. Nobody just goes nuts and does these terrible things just because there was a sale on dynamite or handguns, etc.
We are unfortunately not completely safe anywhere, no matter how restrictive the country's laws are.
I also heard on the Glen Beck show that more kids are killed yearly in football(high school and college) than are killed in these awful shootings. Doesn't make this any less tragic, just some gives it some perspective. God bless their families and friends.
