Shooting at SPU in Seattle

[SteveG]

Last month, according to police, Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured seven before turning his gun on himself in a rampage in Isla Vista, California, near two universities.

Seven people were killed and three injured when a 43-year-old former student opened fire at a tiny Christian school, Oikos University, in Oakland, California, in 2012. A gunman killed five people and injured 18 when he opened fire in a Northern Illinois University lecture hall in 2008.

In 2007, 32 people were fatally shot in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, before the gunman killed himself.

Oh Good Lord..... How is a shotgun a "weapon of war" with maybe the exception of limited use for blowing apart locks and door hinges.

More people are killed in the US with hammers each year than long guns.

For the record, this was in my community. About 4 miles from my house.

It's a "weapon of war" when you don't bother being informed re what's going on and just spout talking points.

It's easier to blame the victim or the means than it is to face the dire poor infrastructure of physical and mental health services in this country.

I'll roll with the idea that this individual was making war on the folks he shot.
