What I'm saying Speedy, is that there are readily available weapon alternatives to firearms that are actually MUCH worse. Law Enforcement personnel are trained and equipped to deal with armed felons. Change the weapon to something like a firebomb and I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the results. 50+ years ago as a preteen, I had the formula for Trinitrotoluene (TNT). The internet makes creating weapons so much easier now. But you keep living in your dream world of unicorns and rainbows.

Of course, we're now finding out about the shooters past and there is no way he should have been in possession of firearms. He had also had PPO's against him from other women in his past and his latest left him after a month.
So that usual question comes up: How was it that people knew he was a dangerous nut case yet nothing was done? The signs were all there and very obvious...

Gun rights defenders rarely do anything in their lives to stop domestic violence, other than recommend more guns.

My friend's daughter was murdered by a classmate who had obtained a gun during the burglary of someone else's home. He broke in, shot her and her mother and then himself. He and the daughter died.
I doubt many burglars come across the ingredients for TNT or a firebomb while ransacking a house.
And the thing about guns is, once you have one it is extremely easy to act on impulse and take a life.
The irony is that I'll bet the burglary victim had the gun for "protection". Instead his weapon destroyed the life of my friend and took the life of her daughter.
