I live in Omaha, NE.. and we had that idiot walk into a mall in December, 2007 and he shot and killed 8 people I think. One of those killed was the mom of a girl I went to high-school with.

The guy stole his step-dads gun (he didn't live with him.. he went to his house when the dad was out of town). This guy was suicidal, higher then a kite, and depressed beyond reason because he'd just been fired and his girlfriend had dumped him.

My point is he decided he was going to do this.. his weapon of choice was just that - he would have found and used something else if he'd had too. He STOLE the gun.. he didn't go and buy it legally. Making it illegal to buy that gun would not have stopped this tragedy.

I don't like assualt weapons, but I just feel like we're totally going at the wrong angle on this.
