Firearms are common place in cultures outside the US. Much of this stereotype actually is down to the larger media coverage in the US.
One point I would like to make: Guns may be legal to an extent in the US. However, it is not legal to murder somebody, the law didn't stop them. While accessibility is certainly a concern, there are statistics that actually show US has less "general" crime than the UK which has vastly higher restrictions on guns. On the other hand, homicide rates are higher in the US, but crime overall is lower. Interesting huh?
As to why somebody would do this - They're cognitive functional is unlikely to be considered "normal".
oh god, lol

Don't be a smart arse. My point was that law doesn't stop anybody. Access is what makes the difference.

Quote:I just cant grasp the reason of why people do these things. Is your life that worthless that you want to shoot up a school?
The accessibility to firearms added up with the insanity one human can endure is a formula for chaos on it's own.
Wether the man being American or not, this can happen anywhere and everywhere.
The main point stands that he was not in the right mind, self-evaluated that a school with his wife is a good place to show a message (I'm assuming).
The endless possibilities of why he'd do something are endless, until the point of no reason.
