Such a thing as evil exists in this world; each person may feel free to ascribe it to whatever their conscience dictates, but it does exist. All the gun laws ever won't stop evil people from trying to do evil things.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

That he learned something from his game that you learn in (police) school, about how if you’re moving from room to room — the way he was in that school — you have to reload before you get to the next room. Maybe he has a 30-round magazine clip, and he’s only used half of it. But he’s willing to dump 15 rounds and have a new clip before he arrives in the next room.”Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa ... z2NxZNATVW" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Makes it very clear that 30 round magazines were not an advantage to him. Hence the furor over them is even more useless. The sad thing here is we see just how much being the most defenseless prey made him choose children. It is also clear his planning was so methodical that he would have found a way to do this even if there had been no guns involved. He was that determined. Violent video games may not adversely affect normal people, but the abnormal among us can be. He was.

John F. Hinckley Jr., the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, was obsessed with the Robert DeNiro movie, "Taxi Driver". The Columbine shooters planned on using explosives to kill even more people (thank goodness it didn't work) and one of them was into Frederich Nietzsche. Those are just two examples I remembered off the top of my head. In every one of these sick, evil deeds the perpetrators latch onto something to justify their vile acts and planned their deeds ahead of time. They read things, view things, listen to things and indeed play things that millions of others have read, viewed, listened to, or played and NOT go on to do any vile acts. Most of these actions, minus a few such as the Reagan shooting, happened in "gun free zones" which are really "soft target zones". The NRA proposal to put LEOs into schools and/or have other responsible folks there ARMED is the best deterent. The bad guys want easy, quick kills. Its a lot more straightforward to harden targets than to try and figure out what motivates any particular nutball killer, a task that could prove almost endless.
