A very tragic event. To be honest, this makes me disgusted in the human-kind. And I really want to know why he did it also, but he's just probably going to say some s*** like "some men just want to watch the world burn" or "you can't spell slaughter without laughter". You know, just to go with his "Joker" identity. But to go long with this, we do need tighter gun regulations. You don't need a semi-auto to go hunting with. And I'm pretty sure he could've done this with a regular hunting rifle, but there would've been less deaths and injuries probably.

This is the definition of a Misanthropist. That may very well be the motivation......if not at least the catalyst.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean I'm just going to go and shoot people at random. What makes me sick is how people can just do this.

That may be true to you, and irrational as the concept is, that doesn't negate the fact that the mind set exists and is rational to some.

While I agree we don't need semi auto's to hunt with, your reasoning that there would have been less deaths and injuries with a hunting rifle or other firearms is provably untrue. Most of the damage done at the Columbine high school shooting was done with single fire shot guns.
The Virgina Tech shooting (second biggest in U.S. history, and twice the victims than the Colorado shooting) was done with hand guns only.

Stricter gun laws aren't going to prevent these from happening. There are still more gang related shootings every year than there are massacre shootings or accidents. And 90% of the weapons in gang and other criminal shootings are bought illegally.

This guy was off his rocker for sure. Whatever his "reasoning" might be is pretty much irrlevelent as i don't see any reason he could give that would make any sence anyhow.
