(426 posts)the NRA is ripping their hair out right now trying to figure out a way to demonize this poor man without sounding like total jackasses.
There is a BIG difference between the right to bear arms and the right to indiscriminately murder people. Wish I had an answer for that one. I don't. And that's the main problem. Our society can't seem to find a common ground that preserves the rights of law abiding gun owners and keeps them out of the hands of criminals and serial killers. Especially when it's a first time killer with no record to indicate that he's a danger to society. His family tried to warn authorities. But he put on such a good show, they dismissed him as a danger.
With all the money that Washington wastes on useless studies you'd think they could spare a little to study this problem. Not likely to come up with an instant, easy-to-implement solution, but it would be a start. But I'm sure the NRA would object even to that.
