Obviously, the gun issue is a big issue. This was a preplanned attack by him. He bought the pistol and rifle just a few days ago. A several day waiting period with full background check MIGHT have prevented the tragedy. The background check MIGHT have revealed the FBI check as well as the domestic abuse issue. How did he get and keep gun permits with domestic abuse issues and be selected for a job as an armed guard?
High capacity magazines are another issue to think about. The AR-15 style .223 has a 20 round magazine. Taped back to back makes 40 rounds. What civilian needs a 20 round magazine?
Off the soapbox now. Rocky and the Rollers were excellent tonight.

You know we don't have guns. Guns are NOT the issue in this terrible tragedy. Radical Islamic terrorism is the issue. I don't know why anti-gun people keep changing the subject.
I am tired of politically correct discussions. Of course all Muslims aren't terrorists, but nonetheless, the powers that be who protect this country are watching mosques.
Sometimes we have to abandon being polite in the face of being safe.
