Very sad when anyone takes their own life. Much harder when they have to murder others in the process. Condolences to Finland.

Just out of curiosity, how many of these types of mass shootings do the fins endure? Is this the first school mass shooting in Finland?

Guns don't kill people.People kill people.

Nope, but they sure make it convenient, fast, and easy.

The problem is not with guns, but with vagina, or lack of it.....

I believe that there was an earlier shooting in finland involving two people shot. Some news stories are making the correction.

My condolences to the people of finland. No one likes to see innocents killed.

This seemed unavoidable to me.. finland has strict gun control laws.. this guy obeyed em...up until he took the guns to school and started shooting.

He didn't show any sign of being a whackjob until a few hours before the killings on youtube.

He used a relatively benign handgun that is never targeted by our gun ban crowd.. a 22 pistol.. what I learned to shoot with when I was 9 years old.

I don't know what makes these kids feel so much hate and self loathing that they would do such things.

And straws, and napkins, and TV's, and clothes a sock can easily be used to kill someone so we can't have socks... or shoes, or boots... or candy wrappers, or books, or pencils, action figures, any kind of cord or rope, boxes...

true, but if it was my intention to walk into some public place and kill as many unarmed sheep as possible, my weapon of choice would be a semi auto rifle and a pistol with high capacity magazines.

That doesn't make the other items any less deadly.

I don't really want to turn this into a gun control thread. I will be glad to if I must but.

for now.. let's just put out our condolances and shake our heads and wonder why so many well off and spoiled kids around the world end up trying to kill so many of their fellows.

Its a pity that wackos want to take other people with them. Would be much "nicer" if they would just pop one on their own head instead of killing lots of innocents.

I´m just waiting for the press to have a field day with this and politicians making comments about computer games, TV´s bad influence, position of the stars and the moon... etc. Like it helps.
