I find the "blame the victim" line of reasoning misplaced.

I am really so very sorry for all of the victims in this tragedy.

I did find myself wondering while watching the news, where are all the guns we hear about, if this young man went about the killing without being at least challenged by another person with a weapon. Although never having lived in an armed society I honestly don't know if I could have pulled a weapon on another human being.

I hope all of the people involved get the help and support they need to get through this.
