3 dead, including gunman, in shooting near Texas A&M; campus, police say

Wow. So many idiots willing to give up their liberties for all the criminals who will find guns to commit crimes until the end day.

I'm not saying take guns away(in a perfect world), but too many people who shouldn't have them do and they're too easy to get. Also, really, who in the "H" needs and assult weapon?

See Daniel 8 drones that are living in an illusion - puppets - that is how and why things are like they are:) 8 mindless drones.

Mr. Hand I apologize, but sadly truth is truth, if you take first quarter spending (first term presidents often have the problem of the impact of the receding presidents policies) then yes, i you look at the rest of the term.... well, its a lot less than you are being led to believe.... I'm not even a liberal, I am a conservative, in the truest sense of the word, and truthfully obama (other things aside) has been doing a fine job with spending.... Its just statistics....

lot of talk about people having weapons,i for one believe in protecting myself.

And @ Lapedro - When did a man shooting and killing other people and then dying himself become a political thing? It's not like he was doing it in the name of Obama or Romney, or any other politician for that matter or any political beliefs. You sound a little bitter against Democrats - are you sure it's not you who has the motto "been done wrong by some Democrat somewhere somehow, nothing is my fault"??? (as you so eloquently posted in your own words...)

We only hear the name calling by politicians we never learn of all the dealing that go on behind the scenes.

OZ, follow the yellow brick road and dive down that rabbit hole. If you want to get from here to there or have some understanding of what others are thinking and feeling, you've got to go there, as you seem to know, to evolve. otherwise we're all stuck here contemplating our navels and sticking out our tongues.

Define Irony.. The people commenting for no better reason than to just insult someone for trying to make a supportive point... Will likely #$%$ that all politicians do is insult one another and never say anything worthwhile. You can tell the people by their leader, they say. This comment section proves that famously.

Brother...gun control had very little if any affect on skyjackings the reduction of US planes skyjacked was due more to The Us/Cuba agreement to extradite the skyjackers back to the country of origin. Other countries adopting this policy helped as well.

For all you gun control enthusiast. We have gun control, any legal law abiding purchaser of a gun has to go through a criminal background check….did you see what I said there “ANY LEGAL LAW ABIDING PURCHASER”. Most of us will have our guns locked down and child proofed. There are some idiots out there and the rest are criminal, who will get a weapon of any type, to do the job necessary to accomplish his goals. We are all born with the knowledge of right and wrong, it just depends on what we do with it. There are mentally ill people of all sorts out there, a very small percentage of them are out today becoming murderers or using a gun because someone served them a notice of any kind. I am so tired of hearing this excuse being used after the fact, so the individual gets sent to a nicer place for help. I feel real bad for all those who actually have a mental illness of any type, I wonder how those with the capacity to understand these things as they happen, feel about being clustered in with these idiots who just one day snaps and goes mentally ill. If any one of them have the capacity to plan these things out (the Colorado incident) then I believe they ought to be found competent to stand trial, make it a quick one, if there is absolutely no dought, then have them suffer the “EXACT” same death they perpetrated. Stop blaming the gun….holy crap how many of the people blaming the gun, blame the spoon for people being fat. We are all accountable for our own actions…..Until we understand this especially here in the USA, we will never get through this and move forward. We are stuck in a rewind/replay mode and we never learn from it.

John, yes we have enoguh laws! legislating guns will not help!
and besides look what happened just before or after hitler, mao, stalin, polpot took power, ban guns and the mass murdering starts!

Quite a collection of opinions on this one, not surprising, since each has his point to make, valid, lucid, relevant, biased, ignorant or enlightened. To address original comment, yes, there is far more gun related, often fatal, violence then in the past, even taking into account population growth, relative to increase in population; secondly, there is undoubtedly more media coverage, just as there is the constant avalanche of faux celebrity 'news' and saturation coverage of the most mundane and mind numbing information. However. that being said, coverage of shootings, deranged massacres of innocent people, self serving killing of real or imagined tormentors or simply 'others', hate related massacres (and I use the description massacre because these killers are not shooting one person with whom they have an issue, they are killing multiple victims, most innocent bystanders, except in the twisted mind of shooter), have definitely increased, and are becoming the new normal. We've all heard of Al Capones 'Valentines Day Massacre', well, we now have them so regularly that people are blaming the media for making it 'seem' worse than it is. Ironic, trying to 'shoot' 'the messenger of gun violence. Time to reign in the public's imagined 'right' to gun ownership. A "well armed militia" is the US Military and Federal, state, and local police. We do not need citizens with automatic weapons, or other weapons, to protect this country. they own, and use firearms for their own use, not as a "well armed militia" to defend this country.
and note to Rc: wrong, it was not worse, nor even remotely similar, in the 60's. I was there. Eliminate guns, except for legitimate uses of hunting and shooting clubs for those gun enthusiasts.

Actually according to the FBI crime bureau of statistics the crime rate all down 27% murder is down 50% lowest it's been in over 30 years. All at a time when there are more guns in the US then ever before.

This isn't about media - at all. Sure, there are problems with their selectivity in what they cover. Congratulations, people have known that forever. Take it with a grain of salt, have a little bit of independent thinking/evaluation powers and move on, but don't say a story about a crazy person with unusually easy access to high grade weapons and killing police offers is somehow a biased show of agenda setting. It's disrespectful to all and any victims of gun violence or any type of violence for that matter. Talk about what the crime was and what was used to execute the crime and how future loss of life can be prevented in a factual manner, not how unfair it was that said crime was covered in an unbiased manner. Loss of life is loss of life - diverting attention to something as idiotic as the amount of media it got is disrespectful. Who cares how it relates to how many people USED to be dying - people are still dying, thats the take a way message.
