Also, someone above said it is EASY to get assualt weapons and such. That is not true. Assult weapons have been banned in the US for quite some time. Although it may have expired in 2004 there are several attempts to re-instante it. With the dems in control again I am pretty sure it will happen this year.

Not to mention (again .... just read one of my posts below) that this particular individual had his licensed firearms a full 10 years (TEN YEARS) before he committed the crime. Ten years is an awfully long period of opportunity. That doesn't make it sound all that "easy" to get a gun and commit a crime. It may well be easier than it should be .... but anyone who tries to point to what happened in New York State yesterday as an example of that has their head screwed on backwards.
