Sway, So Reuters made it up? 250 million out of 300 million Americans own guns, according to their news story. That's roughly 83 percent of us. That's a lot.

And your last point--exactly. So what's all the supposed controversy and blame about keeping campuses safer? Since it was an isolated incident, all the reaction seems really alarmist to me. You can't predict or prevent the unexpected. But you can address the root cause--which means not only addressing gun ownership (which I see really as more a symptom of our sick society) but also understanding the reasons our society is so violent.
