What if I just really need to kill a room full of people quickly. I need some C4 or a ballistic missile and a way to launch it. No problem, right? After all, I'm "determined". 
And save all of the knee-jerk gun rights responses. I'm in favor of gun rights but unless the arguments for gun owners' rights get a lot better than this, we're doomed...
"No criminal is going to obey/care/follow any gun law anyways..." NEWSFLASH: He wasn't a criminal. He probably had squeaky clean record up until yesterday, just like every post office or office cubicle murderer who's ever bought a gun on Friday and killed all of his co-workers on Wednesday.
You're going to have to do better than that, Sparky. You're up against the better-educated half of the country. Or at least the half more likely to have taken a logic course in college on their way to a worthless philosophy degree or something.  |

Trying to rid the country of guns will be as difficult as getting rid of coffee mugs.
the other thing is the laws are never perfect. He probably was squeaky clean but just now demonstrated his intentions. He had been granted responsibility and a choice and blew it. It's just too bad he did not try to rob a liquor store first and got caught.
So is life...
