Aside from Piers Morgan's dramatics, the news reports have had sympathy for those who senselessly died and the media is trying to learn about this man's job loss and grievance with his contract work. I appreciate the attempt at more accurate reporting in the midst of tragedy.
Where did you hear that he lost his job? All of the reports I've read stated that he was currently employed as a contractor but had a grievance about his wages.

As for Piers Morgan and the gun control lobby....well never let a crises go to waste I guess. The reports I've read state that the weapons used was a shotgun and handgun, two classes of firearms not regularly targeted by gun control advocates, but what the hell do any of us know, up until last night the shooter was a caucasian.
