I didn’t want to have to write anything about this little puke who committed six murders in Santa Barbara. But since all law-abiding gun owners are now apparently to blame I have to speak up.
There is already a law against murder. If a lunatic is willing to violate that law multiple times then some silly regulation about how or when he can buy a gun legally will not deter him. Even if you could make guns completely illegal and have every single one of them magically disappear there would still be at least 4 dead people here. Assuming the nut would find some way to off himself. The one, the only issue to consider here is how can we change our current system to deal with people who are known to be mentally ill and potentially dangerous, other than to clean up the mess they leave when they finally snap. Maybe you smart people out there can think about that instead of how to deprive gun owners of their civil rights.
