re: #254 Dark_Falcon

And I’d point out one more thing: Elliot Rodger killed his first three victims with a knife. A total ban on guns would not have kept him from killing his roommates. So I feel quite comfortable saying his mindset is more of an issue than are firearms, because he was already a triple murder before he ever fired a shot at anyone.

It also points out how important the element of surprise is — it’s tough to imagine Rodger being able to do something like that if any of them had even the slightest inkling of what he was planning to do.
