Yesterday gunmen went nuts in Germany and Alabama killing a combined total of 28 people. Both attacks were brazen, calculated and involved an initial attempt on the part of the perpetrators to escape. Both killers obtained their weapons easily and legally. The guns were initially bought and possessed by people considered to be responsible gun owners.
Access to firearms by those with a grievance is readily available. For some reason it’s almost never a convicted felon or someone straight out of mental institution who goes on one of these violent killing sprees. Guns are too prevelent. Since rounding up all the guns is not a real option, what’s the correct response to this problem?
With mass availability of firearms and growing discontent and mental anguish because of the economy I expect we will hear about a lot more of these incidents in the coming months.
