(15,438 posts)in order not to have to face the cold-hard truth, you're forgetting ONE MAJOR detail here: he had a gun; a killing weapon; a weapon designed to KILL. And he used it for that purpose to take a young girl's life like it was nothing.
The "mentally unstable" excuse is wearing very thin. There are sociopaths and gangs all across the globe, and in every demographic and every race, yet the stats for gun-related slaughters seem to be all concentrated in this so-called civilized society with a corrupted 2nd Amendment law - the United States.
Why's that? Well, guns are much too easy to get a hold of. Even when bought legally, fully registered, and by a person who passes all mental health tests (should they ever administer any - *that ain't gonna happen considering our sorry state of access to health services in this country as well), they somehow always wind up in the hands of "scumbags" with "bad natures" slaughtering kids as easily as taking out their trash. If you can't see that this country has a serious gun problem that's killing our fellow Americans at terrifying rate just so a few gun-nuts can kiss their firearms every night, then perhaps our lawmakers can in order to protect the rest of us who do.
