I do not have a personal gun at home or even a concealed permit, just my own personal choice. That's what this is about, your own personal choice, whether to carry a gun or not. I believe in the 2nd Ammendment, certainly in this case and alot of others, a gun may have saved some lives. This lady or someone else in in there pop's a cap in this nutball maybe her parent's are alive today! However, on the other hand this scumbag is one of many citizens, who do not need to have a gun in their hands. I believe STRONGLY in backround checks, waiting periods of 3 days at least, and any other measures attempt to not let guns get into the hands of the wrong individuals. In terms of Assault Weapons, I feel other than gun ranges, and police and or millitary, these guns should be banned from everywhere else. I Bush was an idiot for letting the ban lapse a fews years back, and from what I've read statistics show more of these guns are hitting the streets, and that is not a good thing.
