So I don’t want to hear that argument from the NRA, and you know that’s going to happen. And I’m going to take it on.”
Sorry Dad, but dirt bag Lester could have killed your daughter and Adam just as easily with one slash to the neck with a knife. Unfortunately these two kids were totaly exposed by the nature of the job. A madman like Lester wasn’t going to be stopped short of a Dr. prescribing a rubber room.

I think if the victims had been openly armed there is a good chance that Lester would never have attacked them in the first place. It was their complete vulnerability that allowed him to carry out his plan. When Lester finally came face to face with armed opposition, he killed himself.
