(8,175 posts)91. I do have one question
Was the prosecutor able to bring into evidence, the fact that this man had an absolute arsenal in his home and vehicle. If so, that might be used in the future when shaping legislation on gun control.
I personally believe that anyone who builds up personal arsenals, of not just weapons, but ammo too, needs to be on some kind of watch list, and maybe should not be holding public jobs like police, or night guards, or other duties that require weapons.
We need to take it very seriously when someone feels the need to build up an arsenal. There is just something wrong with that, and too many mass shooters tend to do that. Or people who join Militia groups that tend to go against the law, claiming they are following constitutional rights.
