Quote:Someone tell me what new gun law would have avoided this sick individual from getting a gun?

 

With as many guns as there are in the United States, there is no gun law that would be enforceable.   The horse is out of the barn on that one.  

 

The question we should be asking is, is there any way to minimize these incidents.    One thing I believe we can point to is that lonely, shy, frustrated young men are very susceptible to going off the rails of reality and doing things like this.   They suddenly become terrorists, or mass murderers, or both.   Maybe as a society we can become more aware of these people and do something for them.   Be their friend, get them a girlfriend, initiate some social programs (locally based, church based, private charities, whatever) and get them integrated back into society.   It's very difficult to stop them once they get it into their head that they have nothing to lose and then they find someone else to blame for their situation.   Donning the Confederate flag and posing with a firearm is a big red flag, no pun intended.   They need to get laid.
