Reuters, stop showing bias and just report news. Anyone can report lists of deaths from automobiles, airplanes, food poisoning, etcetera. I would rather be allowed to legally possess a gun so that I have a chance to defend myself than the other way around. Also, since you took the time to create the list, you should have taken the time to cite the killer's motive. Curious about % mentally disturbed, terrorist, illegal possession.
