Another Bad Apple Spoils The Bunch

So now people are mad that a guy who was denied a permit for a hand gun got a hold of a shotgun and then killed people. However, the guy did pass a criminal background check. In my state that's enough to issue a permit. My state is a "must issue" state. If there's nothing in the person's background that would legally prevent him from owning a firearm, the state must issue that person a permit.

Now you see all these gun control advocates coming out of the woodwork asking for further laws to prevent law abiding citizens from getting firearms. There's nothing preventing any law abiding citizen from snapping and going crazy with a gun. That's just the way things are and no additional law is going to stop it. It is sad that people had to die because this guy decided to do a criminal act and he will go to jail or the death chamber for his crimes, but tightening the screws on a legally protected Constitutional right isn't the answer.
