This guy went for the gun free zone, like many other shooters.

At Halloween, he suggested, “there would literally be thousands of people walking around that I could kill with ease.” What thwarted this plan? “It would be too risky. One gunshot from a cop will end everything.” As it happens, the killer had foreshadowed his own death. The rampage ended when good men with guns closed in and returned fire, prompting their target to turn the gun on himself. It was ever thus.

All correct.

You think the defining characteristic of this spree's location--that of a college-age boy going after "stuck-up sorority girls"--was that a university was a "gun free zone"?

No.  But it seems most mass shootings are in places where there are no other guns.  I'm not totally off the reservation, b33.

Do mass shootings happen in schools because they're gun free zones? Or do mass shootings happen in places where there are no guns because schools are gun free zones? Probably the latter, right?

Call of Duty: Ghosts has sold over $1B worldwide. Grand Theft Auto 5 has likewise done over $1B in business. These games are popular in all areas of the world. And yet, these kind of mass shootings only seem to happen here in this country.

It still ain't the video games, Mr. Lieberman.
