Granted, probably not the best time.
But believe it or not, I'd like nothing more than for us to find a way to reduce these way-too-frequent school shootings.
What I fear though, is that it will turn out that this guy either bought his guns legally because he wasn't disqualified, meaning even universal background checks wouldn't have stopped him, or he ended up getting someone else to buy them for him, which completely bypasses the process.
I guess I'm just too cynical any more to think that tougher gun control laws are ever going to solve this problem.
