The saddest part is that the police had brought him in for questioning and then determined they had no reason to hold him or confiscate his weapons and let him go.

Well, sounds like some Finnish politicians want to ban handguns, which is missing the point.
If the next nutjob uses a shotgun, what will they do then? And if the next guy uses a rifle, will they ban those as well? And when another makes a homemade bomb, will they ban cars so noone has reason to get gasoline?
Koga is right in that more needs to be done to crack down on bullying and child abuse.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Yup I mean guns laying all around where kids have easy access is not exactly something that is helpful, but if a country really did get rid of all of its guns then a school shooter would use explosives made at home or bladed weapons or something. The underlying problem is social, and even here in America we have done almost nothing about it except a series of laws that further ostracized troubled kids and suspend them if they show any sign of hostility.

Well, Finns are finno-ugrians (just like Hungarians, Karelians, Estonians etc.) while Swedes, Danes and Norwegians are germanics (just like Germans). Scandinavia is a geographic entity consisting of the peninsula formed by Sweden and Norway, and really has nothing to do with ethnicity.
They had no legal support to do so, and if you're answer to that is "But still", that leads us into the debate on what rules should be broken and what rules shouldn't be broken.Originally Posted by Hosakawa Tito

It's not easy being a man, you know. I had to get dressed today... And there are other pressures.

The Play
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
On the way back from work I heard they had apprehended a Swedish 16 year old for the possesion of illegal weapons and broadcasting hate videos on youtube (In Sweden). They are not taking any chances with copycats.Yeah, I wondered about that. I figured that at the very least, they would've confiscated his firearms.![]()
I also heard that the police officer that had questioned this madman the day before he killed 10 people and let him go and let him keep his weapons are under psycriatic help. Too much for the poor guy.
