So first of all my thoughts and best wishes are with those shot on Sunday (as it turns out the family most affected are cousins to one of my sisters friends). It never makes sense when these sorts of shootings occur.
But between this shooting and the shooting last week in Omaha I think it is time to reopen the national dialogue on the assault rifle ban. I think it is ridiculous that these weapons are available again. And after 2 shootings made all the worse because of the firepower available to the killers I would find it hard to agree with any justification for the legality of these types of weapons. Will ridding the country of these weapons make everyone safer? Maybe, maybe not, but it might at least reduce the carnage. New Life was lucky that there was a trained security officer there, and that the killer was not better trained.
