I hate how every high profile tragedy like this gets politicized by anti-gun lefties, and the first thing blamed by these folks is the tool used, a gun. These people skip right over the victims (in this case, a mother who was murdered by a man who was experiencing issues most of us don't understand) and move right on to their own personal agenda. If you're anti-gun that's fine, good for you, and good luck if shit ever hits the fan. BUT saying mindlessly that guns are the problem, and suggesting that we need even stricter gun laws than we already have just point to your ignorance.
Do they think that the "bad guys" give a shit about gun laws. Or that murders didn't take place until firearms were invented? People kill people with knives, maybe we need stricter knife laws, and all of our food should come already cut into bite size pieces prepared for us by the government. People kill people with poison, maybe we should ban everything that might be poisonous so that its not used for something other than its original intention. People kill people with cars. Maybe we should ban cars, and have government regulated drivers available to take us from point A to point B so that we don't get into a wreck and kill somebody. People kill people with drugs. Maybe we should ban drugs so that people don't take them and overdose anymore. Wait, drugs are already illegal and people still buy them and overdoes. And the dealers they bought the drugs from aren't caught, or charged with murder. Maybe they should be. Maybe we should all close our eyes, click our heels together, and say "there's no place like home" over and over again until the world turns into a Disney movie utopia.
Ahhhhh, now that's better. It's Monday and Bob Costas is a douchwaffle. Time to get back to work.
