Robert, anyone can make a pretty good bomb with next to nothing ... a quart of gasoline in a gallon jug and a spark works just fine. If you are actually a chemical engineer, you should not need to be reminded that the Oklahoma City bomber used fuel oil and fertilizer ... not a complicated formula at all. So getting rid of guns is not the answer. Besides which, the only legal means of doing so in the US is via a Constitutional Amendment. What Feinstein and Obama are attempting to do is unconstitutional. We've come into the end times and 2 Ti 3:1-5 is unfolding. Forget it -- there is no turning things back. I've opted to protect my family and the Constitution with whatever tools and weapons may come to hand.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The hands move toward evil. The guns fire. The knives slash. The knowledge of evil leads to evil. Satan wants children of wrath to project his kingdom. To get the children, witchcraft spells are placed on families to break them up. Bullying is allowed in the schools. Murder-based computer games and movies are a regular diet. Evil people are given attention and prominence. Gay love spells are used to confuse normal kids and get them to side with darkness. Demonic religions and occult activities are used to gain demonic influence in their souls. Total license is taught and promoted. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. We are little Christs -- "Christians." Our tools are prayer, deliverance and blessing. We need to use them on individuals, groups, societies, organizations and nations. We need to do so like our lives depended upon it. They do.

Quite some years ago an experimenter made a rat city. Food was plentiful as were water air and other necessities. Only space was circumscribed. Into this city he place a male and female rat. They reproduced. When the population reached a point equivalent to the population of major cities, the rats behavior had changed from normal to behavior approximating what we have in large cities: roving gangs, violence, terror that had rats turning catatonic and cowering in fear in their cubicles. The point? God gave us the power to control our behavior with His help. He told us what we needed to do. We have reached a stage where we no longer follow His rules nor do we teach these to our children! We have reached the "Me First" stage where nobody else counts, - not even our families! We are behaving totally like animals. When was the last time you talked to God? You need to get back on a first name basis with him to change our society!

Thank you Mark. Its evil and God does have his purpose and as a human I will struggle with events and other terrible situations the rest of my life. Just when I think I have the Theology worked out and I know why God has not healed me from my Quadriplegia, someone starts killing everyone so that main stream media will cover it. I was wondering when someone would mention the killing going on in Chicago. Mark you made some fine points and I think we will be sorting through this stuff and falling on our knees until we have to stand before the Throne. We can't stop all evil, IT IS ABOVE OUR PAY GRADE but we can stop some of it. We need to do all the practical things we can do. As a Therapist we should push for laws to mandate reporting clients who are seriously ill and who own a gun. Now we are limited. We need to have gun laws that work. My life along with my family was saved because we had a gun in the house. There is no need for some of these guns that are available. Corky Riley

I read most of the comments and the majority think that this tragedy has something to do with gun control. At Least 80 Dead in Norway Shooting; Hand guns are illegal in Norway. I think you are all wrong, what about Jeffery Dalmer, John Wayne Gacy Murders, . If you read your Bible, you know the distance from our sinfullness to GODS rightousness. A unrepented liar, is just as guilty as a hitler, or stalin. So I TELL YOU QUIT playing the blame game. LOOK in the mirror a liar, thief, fornicator, murder is looking back at you. Admit you are a sinner, repent, ask CHRIST into your life, Worship HIM, obey HIM as LORD and if disease, fatal accident, or a deranged gunman kills you in the next second or 50 years if you keep the faith I will see you in heaven, This event is the result of a man satisfying a desire who does not believe or respect the accountabilty to GOD, based on his field of study, a gifted student he is a humanist who believes when he dies he ceases to exsist.
