they can not pass an assault weapon or magazine limit ban as some think this will fix all evils. Oh that's right it would not of stopped this one either, but lets concentrate on that instead of mental illness as a possibility.

Make more guns more available to more people. That doesn't work, either.

There are other rights besides the Second Amendment. One of them is the right to life. I think life trumps all other rights.

As long as guns continue to be a national fetish, these stories will happen.

Often. And with alarming regularity.
