8 Dead in Finland School Shooting

TUUSULA, Finland (AP) - An 18-year-old gunman killed eight people at a high school in southern Finland on Wednesday, then shot himself but survived, police said.

They said the high school's principal was among the dead.

Police said the gunman, who used a .22-caliber pistol, was taken to hospital with serious wounds and the situation was ``under control'' after officers surrounded Jokela High School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki.

It was the first known school shooting in Finland, where gun ownership is fairly common by European standards, but shootings are rare.

didn't miss it. Didn't post it. Not really posting as much, am I?!

What can I say?

The first known school shooting in Finland, although gun ownership is fairly common by European standards, but shootings are rare.

(a) If gun ownership is at the level of the US, then I wonder if gun shootings are rare in the US as well.

(b) If it is less, then it does not tell well of the "more guns, less crime" hypothesis the NRA supports.

nay?

and bm: pull ur AK, ur 16, and ur baby Mac. Strap on ur vest, and throw ur 9 in the small of ur back.
Go poppin'. kill'em 'n' cold thers. Be the shit and throw the beans on ur soldiers...
