Link Edit 2: first link doesn't work try Here Edit 3 now that link doesn't work, I give up on this source. There is a link a couple of posts down. There are reports of another suspect, but that seems out of place with the info provided. Edit: Well they have now removed "a very large weapon" from the report.

A Gun Free school zone is precisely why this happens more often as those intent on harm know they can cause a lot of it without fear of someone putting them down in short order.
A couple years ago if something like this happened I'd think, "Well maybe something good can come of this, perhaps the issue students gun rights will be brought up." I've learned now that incidents like this just make people think that banning guns on college campuses SOLVES problems. At least with my GWL I can keep my pistol in my car.

Wait a minute-- the media tells me that the AK-47 family of weapons (even the semi-auto versions) are the deadliest things since the bubonic plague. They fire bullets powerful enough to go through cars, houses, and bulletproof vests. They hold more rounds of ammo than you can count. They are useless for any legitimate purpose, but perfect for slaughtering cops and innocent people. SO HOW CAN A CRAZED GUNMAN shoot up a school and kill nobody but himself ??? (That's it--- I'm ditching my AK and switching my Zombie home security long gun to an AR platform!!!)
