A guy woke up one morning and said "I'm gonna kill 32 people'. But, where he lived, guns were illegal and he could not get one. The best he could manage was a meat cleaver. He knew he might be overpowered before he killed anyone. He understood that short of learning how to make explosives, he could not expect to rack up a significant body count with the means as his disposal. Even if he goes ahead with whatever he can find, it's all but certain that 32 people don't die at his hands that day.
Quote:The vast majority of those incidents are a direct result of the social and economic situation of the person involved. Perhaps we should address that - since it's a very real problem.
Why can't we address both very real problems simultaneously? Why are we supposed to ignore the more concrete and soluble problem which can be tackled in a matter of years to focus solely on the huge, vaguely-defined one which can only be solved incrementally, over decades?
