Thank you for posting my comments. I have contacted the author of the article regarding this matter. It would be nice if all my comments had been posted since there were no TOS violations in them, and they included information that was added to the article after my posts were written. I was able to gain this information by reading the Korean news from Yeonhap, the source to which I gave credit.

POSTING AGAIN: GUESS SOMEONE IS EMBARRASSED THAT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE IN THE ARTICLE CAME IN A COMMENT FIRST.
Mr. Baek killed his elder sister’s husband Mr. Kang(65) who is the owner of the sauna, his younger sister’s husband Mr. Kim(58), and his younger(57) and elder(67) sisters surnamed Baek.

Mr. Baek killed his elder sister’s husband Mr. Kang(65) who is the owner of the sauna, his younger sister’s husband Mr. Kim(58), and his younger(57) and elder(67) sisters surnamed Baek. This comes from the Yeonhap Korean News Agency.

Before accusing people of not reading the article, some may find it interesting to note that authors update their articles. This isn't paper. This article has been rewritten many times, and information that is now included in the article was written in comments more than an hour before the article got updated at 8:54 Wednesday morning.

Contrary to popular belief, guns do not kill people. People kill people. I am not a flaming NRA, take my gun out of my cold dead fingers wingnut. I am in favor of tighter gun control laws. But I do own a gun. I've had it for years. And it has killed not one single person. Not one.

What do people kill people with? Pencil sharpeners? Electric razors? People kill WITH GUNS! Idiot!

Car, knives, baseball bats, rope people are quite creative.

And blades, fists, blunt objects, poison, etc.

As you said people. Anti-gun individuals are always quick to forget the human involvement in murder. But for the person above pulling the trigger, the gun would not have fired. If he walked into the spa and put a gun down on the table, and no one touched it, no one would have died. The problem then is the person, because the gun cannot shoot without him.

The phrase "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" is a reminder to focus on the problem (the person) rather than the tool.

How do you propose that gun is going to shoot itself at someone?

[Rooster Coburn]

I recall a thread on the Kel-Tec Owners Group board about whether members carried concealed at the gym. I guess the old American Express Card motto still holds true, "Don't leave home without it!".
From the Internet:

Su Jung Health Therapy is a traditional Korean spa with a sauna, restaurant and nail and hair salon inside.

We can take away the guns and have a perfect state...like Mexico, since the Cartels would have free reign, and our remaining freedoms would disappear....continuing on the path of state control.

Control of mass murder is bad?

[Aneesia]

11:38 AM on 02/22/2012

Control of the many because of the very few is just the beginning.
It's very easy to get a gun if your'e a criminal. The Illegals used to horse trade them en masse when I worked in California in the 70's. You cannot stop this type of crime from occurring by taking guns away from everyone else.

In another part of the world the killer would've used a machette..a club...or poison...here he used a gun...point is that once he made his mind up to do the dirty deed....nobody was going to stop him...

Hmmm. You are wrong.

Wonder if the gun was concealed?

if he had beat them all to death with a bat or stabbed them all with a large knife would you ask that question...how many people did o.j. stab to death...how many people did kerby revelius stab to death..how many people where beat to death in brunswick ga. two years ago...

Not sure. Probably not legally if it was.

I see we already have the usual collection of inane, idiotic, pointless comments posted by gun haters, freedom haters, Constitution haters, America haters, and other "Liberals". Why do you bother?

[FreidaPeeples]

08:14 AM on 02/22/2012

Now that is one of the goofiest posts I've seen you write.

And... why are you here? To bash other Americans who don't see things your way? To call people names who don't see it your way?

In your profile photo you are a pin-head.

[wegugin]

09:07 AM on 02/22/2012

Yet you made a similar pin-headed comment earlier.

Well, why don't you just move to North Korea? It seems to me you'd have everything you think you want.

Guns do ki...ll oh wait they do..yet another reason to have some form of sane gun control in this country.

[Dimensio]

10:48 AM on 02/22/2012

What specific measures do you propose?

[Patriot86]

12:19 PM on 02/22/2012

Background checks on the internet and at gun shows...and the states allowing felons run rights must be stopped...mental illness and domestic abuse to should be reasons not to allow guns...also really strict permits for concealed carry...gun safety courses.

There are all sorts of controls placed on firearms and the people who wish to own them. Do a little research before you post and you'll be amazed at what you'll learn.

All involved were Asian, and my guess would be Korean as this is a Korean spa.

So? FOX news.. {rolling eyes}

Found on google. Roll all you want. I checked it on the Korean Yeonhap News Agency and it is correct. They were Asian, which is what I wanted to know. The shooter's family name started with a K, which is the Korean way of indicating most likely the surname Kim, although it could also be Kang. I hate faux news too. Go after something substantive. Lame.

Darn. Now the leftists can't blame it on the christians.

50% of Koreans are Christian. 50-50 shot here.
