Oh wait! We already have that law. Once again it is demonstrated that laws don't prevent crimes.

In this case, by the way, the guy never actually fired a shot at anyone. He pointed a rifle at his therapist and told him he wanted him to listen to him. A struggle ensued and the gun accidentally discharged.

He was armed to the teeth and may have had plans to do a mass shooting, but we won't know that until the investigation is completed.

I wonder what was so important that the therapist might have been ignoring? Sounds like another failure of the VA Health System. It's time that we dismantled the VA Health System and just give our veterans Medicare and a free supplemental plan just like those of us over 65.
