Violent mentally ill people do not need neglect, they need treatment.
Count the number of opportunities "our betters" at many levels had to abort this incident. Count 'em! (I got 45...)

I need not dwell on the catastrophe of the Parkland, Florida mass murder last week. Such killings have become the new normal in America.
In five of the six deadliest mass shootings of the past six years in the United States (Newtown, San Bernardino. Las Vegas. Sutherland Springs, and Parkland) the gunman used an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle.
This is a weapon that was banned for individual ownership and usage by the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. This 10-year ban was legislatively enacted by a Democratic President, Bill Clinton and a Democratic Congress.

Better idea, let’s ban hammers.
2016 FBI Crime stats
Rifle Homicide-374
Hammer and other blunt object homicide-472
(Guess rocks and bricks are banned.)
Hands and feet- 656
(OK, everyone get a knife and cut off your hands)
Oops
Knives-1,604
Well, grab a sharp rock and cut off...Nope, rocks are banned. Umm, slam your hand in a car door maybe.
“Let’s ban AR-15s”
Let’s not.
I’d much rather ban dolts, but that’s equally impractical.
Molon Labe
Molon labe, meaning “come and get it”, is a classical
expression of defiance. When the Persian armies demanded
that the Greeks surrender their weapons at the Battle of
Thermopylae, King Leonidas I responded with this phrase.

Lies right there. What was banned was purchase of certain models that had "evil features", and standard capacity mags above ten rounds. Existing ownership and usage was unaffected.
And as somebody said, it did nothing against crime.
“”””I’m a Republican who served under Bush and Whitman: Let’s ban AR-15s””””
Please clap.
A psyco was allowed to commit a series of crimes so now the politicians want to punish all of the law abiding citizens.
Why?
What do the politicians benefit by making the people defenseless before them?
Is it the conversion of the citizens into subjects that they want?
You are a pantywaste (not GuavaCheesePuff) and you can pound sand, fool.
Yep, he told us exactly who he is.
Next!
Semper FUBO!

He lost me after he said he served in the Bush administration. There is never an end to the amount of RINOs that come virtue signaling out of there.
Keep the AR 15S until there is no corruption in our government.
We still had mass killings, including the COLUMBINE MASSACRE!
No.
Your move.
I’m a democrat who served on the Planning/Zoning Committee. Let’s ban partial-birth abortions.
I have credibility, right?
Mr. Alan J. Steinberg, who is apparently comfortable with disarming citizens while the powers retain their arms needs to google Babi Yar.
Well stated!
Reading that, aren't you enticed to know more?
