Their free and easy gun laws enabled this heinous crime. States rights... right you righties?

(2,493 posts)5. Not sure what your point is
I've seen posts on DU today blaming Trump, AR-15s, gun forums, the NRA and Republicans. I haven't seen many blaming the terrorist who committed this heinous crime, or the religious philosophy that encourages it.

(8,425 posts)7. the point that the death penalty doesn't prevent heinous acts of violence...
it is supposedly there to deter crime - yet doesn't. In California, Florida, Texas, etc.... bloody murder still goes on. Gun free zone or not.
That's my point regarding the death penalty. My other point being that it's easy as f*** to legally get guns in Florida like this guy. Probably in California too. Especially if you're a security guard.
