5. Interesting... no guns?

I am glad they discovered this kid's plan before he was able to go through with his plan. This raises a very interesting point, however. I am not a gun fan and do not own one as I have strong feelings about such weapons (instead I collect swords, knives, and archery equipment) but I believe in the second amendment. Every time there has been a mass killing, one of the big subjects that gets tossed around is gun control. I have always argued that if you take the guns away, a person inclined toward killing people will simply use some other means by which to do so. I see nothing in this report that states the kid was building up a collection of firearms and bullets to execute his plan. He schose to build bombs. Fortunately, this kid got caught.
