Welcome back.
Look at the profiles of the last dozen or so spree shooters. Young, white, (the Virgina Tech guy being an exception) suburban type males. Mostly from white collar families. Seriously, just how easy do you think it would be for one of these kids to wander into the crime riddled areas of downtown and find someone willing to sell them an illegal gun? They'd probably get their asses kicked or even shot themselves instead.
