Of course not. But please note that nobody sold a firearm to this shooter. Had a gun not been available, there are plenty of other highly effective ways to kill people, particularly if you are willing to die with them.
The sad, almost incomprehensible, truth here is that awful things happen at the hands of evil people, and there’s very little we can do to stop a determined perp.
The underlying cause isn’t access to guns, or knives, or explosives, or cans of gasoline. It’s evil intent.
But our citizenry isn’t capable of discussing evil or recognizing it. We are living in an anything-goes world, where everyone has an excuse and “God-just-wants-me-to-be-happy.”
Only He doesn’t want you to be happy. He wants you to be obedient and penitent and respectable and responsible and loving toward your fellow man.
And that’s not where we are a society. Rather, we blink at evil and thus breed it.
Can’t argue with you about where we are as a society, but at the same time, I don’t believe in making it easy for a sicko to do great harm. We don’t sell RPG’s at the 7-11’s, nor do I think many people believe we should. There have to be some limits on the degree of dangerousness of weapons that we allow the general public to possess. That’s what I think the coming debate will be about.
