All I can say as a European is that I got used to U.S. school shootings in the news. It is very sad to witness these events on TV, but they seem to happen on a regular basis. So, I hope that the ones in charge draw the right conclusions. By the way, the second word of the term 'running amok' refers to the Malay culture area. It describes someone who starts killing people in blind rage until he is killed by someone else. A society which grants relatively easy access to firearms has to reflect on why things could happen the way they did in Connecticut.
