The important point from the discussion, is that the gun situation in the USA is now hopeless. It cannot be resolved, just as the drug problem will never be resolved. Despite not being able to 'legally' purchase guns (whatever that means) this fellow acquired an assault rifle to carry out his deranged actions. There are so many illegal guns in the 'best country in the world' that anyone can source a lethal weapon with the right connections and money. Rest assured, this is just another chapter in the ongoing story of American mass murder in a country that considers a portion of its population to be disposable. 

Not great news for those of us vacationing in gunland. 

In about 10 days or so, Americans will forget about this event just as quickly as they are forgetting about Las Vegas. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the real crime. Oh well, the new iPhone is out! And Donald Trump is tweeting something stupid.
