With the columbine massacre, they had their foibles.. but (and this is the important bit), they were both terribly taunted by their peers beforehand.

I wasnt' thinking about video games. The word out on the recent mass murderers was they were sharing their thoughts on social networks. THey also shared with close confidants about their thoughts and plans for murder and mayhem. Evidently, they weren't believed. I sure would hate to be a party to such beforehand knowledge and later come to realize my lack of response helped destroy so many lives.

I've not heard about this Aurora colorado murderer, but for some reason these cowards always have to project their thoughts and plans to some degree beforehand.

Solutions for prevention are a complicated subject, but in order to save lives at least conscious efforts need to be made to try to find some way of getting to the problems and dealing with them before the shootings.

I have a high powered hunting rifle in my gun safe. It has NOT moved without me, nor has it been touched by anyone but me. I only have the combination to that safe. That gun hasn't gotten out of that safe and killed anyone, and hopefully I can say that until my dying day.
