where do we draw the line again, with proof coming in since Columbine, that guns in the wrong hands end up creating these situations? how is it possible that the same constitution that allows people to bear arms, seem to be useless when those arms are used against the wrong targets? would justice be even enough?
hopefully the racist reaction is tempered (after V-Tech killer Cho Seung Hui, and now the weirdly named Jiverly Voong) by the fact that the Pittsburgh shooter was a white, unemployed 23 year old living with his mother.
it would be a logistical nightmare to put everyone who has a gun permit under some kind battery of psychiatric exams; for sure, a lot of psychos would still slip thru the cracks. but then again, how can you prevent something like this, short of repealing the 2nd Amendment? that would instantly create a new American revolution, since too many people are so in love with their guns.
for the brave cops who died in the line of duty in Pittsburgh, maybe they wouldn't have if no one else had guns except law enforcement people. this kind of thing doesn't happen anywhere else as frequently as it does in this country.
look, how do i know this Asian guy doesn't have two Glocks at home, and could potentially snap one day when he realizes selling fake DVDs inside laundromats isn't gonna cut it and his family's gonna go hungry?
and those are the immigrants that go nuts. equally scary are the gun rights people who keep theirs for protection but could also go crazy, and those criminals who have all those illegal guns and have no qualms about using them on anybody.
lots of questions. no easy answers. once again, weep, America.
