If a person buys a weapon legally, while said person is of sound mind (no previous red flags) and then becomes insane at a later date and uses that weapon, there is no amount of control laws that would prevent that other than a total ban on all hand guns (will never happen).

On another note...I read where that insane bunch at the Westboro Baptist church were going to protest the 9 year old girls funeral who died in the attack...because God hates Catholics and she was Catholic. I have since read they won't protest her funeral if they get some air time. If anybody needs to be shot it's that bunch of hatemongers.
Personally, I don't advocate harming anyone over their particular beliefs. Talk like that is what has gotten us to the point we are now.
Baptists ! . . ugh, and I was raised one, . . but this pea fell out of the pod ! Thank God !!
Not directed at you EZ .. but to all . . . So if we have NO gun regulation - where do we draw the line ? DO we let people run around with oozies and machine guns ?
I was raised a Baptist too (not one now) and that group doesn't represent Baptists much less Christians. And I probably disagree with most Christians or any other religious zealot's beliefs.
I don't necessarily believe they should be shot for their beliefs, I just know if it was my little girl they were protesting I highly doubt I would be civil toward their beliefs any more than I would with nazis or white supremacists. I think allowing that type of behavior is what has gotten us to this point. And I know...it's what freedom of speech is all about. I just have a very low tolerence level to those types. Does it make me one of them on the opposite side of the spectrum? Maybe so...

Oh, I agree. They are not any kind of Christian no matter what they proclaim to be. Jesus was never about exclusion and hatred. The Arizona law prohibiting them from demonstrating near the funeral(s) has merit since GW and friends were OK to set up "Free" Speech Zones (as far as I'm concerned, those were unconstitutional) far away from their own "events."
