Psychological Problems or Gun Problems

Another gun related massacre in the U.S., this time a woman postal worker. So the U.S. media covers it as a case of a psycho killer. The question is not her psychological state, but how come she had access to guns.

But of course the gun nut culture of the U.S. will never ask that question.

Proving once again in the negative, that gun control works. Sure we have the occasional gun incident up here in Canada but not with the regularity that they do in the U.S.

Official: Shooter had 'psychological problems'

Witness: 'We all hightailed it out real quick'

GOLETA, California (AP) -- A former postal worker who had been put on medical leave for psychological problems shot five people to death at a huge mail-processing center and then killed herself in what was believed to be the nation's deadliest workplace shooting ever carried out by a woman.

The attack Monday night was also the biggest bloodbath at a U.S. postal installation since a massacre 20 years ago helped give rise to the term "going postal."
