No one's going to secure carry an automatic rifle with them everywhere in case a nutjob attacks.

But I do think we make it too easy for insane people to get weapons of such power.

But, at least they would be extremely hard for lunatics without criminal records to get. I do agree that alarm bells should go off when someone makes the purchase this man made. I think there should be some kind of alert system.Kendall Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061770576086096572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267796673553168103.post-78486905857343984782012-07-26T17:21:30.899-04:002012-07-26T17:21:30.899-04:00Ben this is a hard subject for me...I am a gun own...Ben this is a hard subject for me...I am a gun owner, have owned assault rifles, and enjoyed firing them. I am not a hunter, I just enjoy shooting. I for one would have no problems with a background check, or waiting period for any firearm...but I also don't think banning weapons will solve issues like this. People like this sick fuck will find a way of imposing their will on people weather it be by using guns, or explosives or some other way of killing. The thing I see at issue here is less the guns, and more mental health. The death toll could have reached hundreds if the chemical weapons and explosives this sick man created had detonated.<br />The weapon used was created to kill, all guns are created to kill. The thing I fear about things like this are that people will be so concerned with the gun that the fact that the murders would not have happened without the mind behind the trigger finger...he was the boogeyman.Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384347526625976847noreply@blogger.com
