On a completely different note but along these same thoughts, some of our pro gun control crowd needs to brush up on current gun laws. Over 99.9% of the objections that have arose and state pro gun control reasons are already illegal but for whatever reason keep getting hashed and rehashed over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

One thing I'm curious about is how it can be legal for a green card holder to buy weapons, especially with our current concerns about terrorism. I think this policy should be at the forefront of the debate rather than gun ownership as a whole.
In light of all the information coming out about the shooter another noteworthy question that needs to be answered is was this gentleman ever under the care of a doctor for psych reasons. This is one of the questions you have to answer on your paperwork when you legally purchase a firearm. We know that he was supposedly referred to counseling for some his writings. As more information comes out it seems perhaps someone could have blown the whistle on this whacko long before he committed this atrocity.
