Wolf Blitzer to two guests, “what have we learned?”. Straight off answer as to how easy it is for someone with a “mental problem” to access guns.

So it begins.

Nah ... let him repent on the way to the death chamber. Maybe then he'll have clarity of the evil he has done and the need to ask God for forgiveness, then face His judgment.

I think he needs to have his life taken away for what he did as society's measure of the value of innocent human life (although it's clear that our society fails us in myriad ways on this).

It is obviously now time to take the Cosby Show off the air because of this shooting.

That’s you. I’m not a regular shooter of .45, and I shoot Weaver when I do. My carry weapon is a .40.

I’m told that some aficionados of the 1911 actually shoot skeet with it...(but I would never admit to that) :-)

I love the way he just proved the firings were justified. He can claim racism but he just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that HE was the problem.

“He is gay though - his pictures from twitter pretty much confirm he was definitely on the down low”.

Will never be mentioned by the media. Even if it’s proven he had tried to hit on the cameraman who wanted nothing to do with him and he was obsessed with the cameraman the media will not mention it. Now if he had been spurned by the blonde female and he was obsessed with her it would be all over the news.

I have to say this is one of the most disturbing and distressing stories I have ever seen. Made all the more horrifying by the first person video from this animal.

It’s made headline news over here too.

So tragic. Prayers with the victims.
