I have to believe that if someone were armed (other than the murderer) that day we wouldn't be having this discussion. I blame the politicians and people who are living in denial of the facts at hand. Some people do not have the will to do what is right and some people do not have the will to fight for themselves or others. I believe it is easier for these people to live with themselves if neither option is on the table.

I wish someone would point out the 1000's of guns this man has no doubt sold that have not been used in crimes.

Why don't people understand its the person who pulls the trigger that is the problem?
