Normally the gunman also kills themselves, so I don't think it's much of a deterrent. Obviously jail is more of a deterrent.

Unless you meant that's what OTHER people say.

I think they should increase the punishment for people who commit murder suicide crimes.

I thought Alabama had a higher population density than that.

There was a huge shooting at a high school in Germany that killed 15 people.

Your statement, if serious, is just another example of stupid nationalism.

That German shooting is around Stuttgart -- if I'm not mistaken, that's near where Josef (CP poster) lives. Hope everything's okay with him.

I'm sure these shooters are just suffering from mental illness and should not be held criminally responsible.
