Reports today say that the shooter was obscessed (that spelling doesn't look right, but I don't have time to look it up) with Colubine.
There was a Columbine "expert" in our facility today doing a live interview on for some Canadian broadcaster.

Yeah... on his blog he listed one of his favourite computer games was some sort of first-person shooter/RPG of Columbine. The blog is obviously down now and removed from vampirefreaks.com, but hopefully someone grabbed copies before... 'cause there was some interesting and freaky stuff on the site.
Even with all he posted (including 2 hours before his rampage) the police are still baffled as to a motive or even reason for selecting Dawson College as a target...

And your point is?
Lots of people have guns. Lots of people don't go off on shooting rampages. This was just a messed up person.

The semi-auto, well sorta - yes the weapon itself because of the caliber of round is just legal... however from all accounts it was using an illegal magazine, ie. more than 10 rounds.
As for weapons current legality... well I think the Conservatives are going to have to deal with a public backlash against their scrapping of the Firearms Registry... as for what the future holds? Who knows - but remember it was the Montreal Massacre that inspired the Firearms Registry in the first place...

Thats the link to his photo gallery, the rest of the stuff is still availible but you have to log in to view it and to be honest i'm gonna try and stay as far away from that site as possible. It's the second time in the last 4 months or so that website has popped up with blog entries after serious homicides. Here in Medicine Hat a 12 year old girl killed her parents and 8 year old brother. She was apparently goth and dating a 22 year old who was also involved. both had blogs at vampirefreaks.com and the girl talked about wanting to kill her parents. I'm not saying the website has anything to directly do with it, but it looks like a place screwed up kids hang out.

Yeah... the site does have it's fair share of wackos... of course that may have something to do with the Goth sub-culture...
Afterall it is a sub-culture that does embrace (and to some extent encourage) alienation and a counter-culture image and attitude; but most importantly there seems to be an encouragement of the more dramatic expression of this. I mean if you ever go to a Goth bar or something you can easily spot who the actual nutjobs are in short-time...
Bear in mind that I'm a "former" Goth myself from way back in the early ninties...
