How Many Clues?

How many clues? How many clues do the american people and our government need before we make a change in regards to gun control. Last Friday at LAX (Los Angeles's airport) there was another shooting. Another crazed man somehow found another gun and killed more people, and injured more families in the process. This leaves me with questions. I am left with many more questions than answers.

How does somebody get ahold of a .223-caliber assault rifle. This is not a gun that one would use for hunting, or for self protection either. This is an assault rifle, the world assault really describes the whole thing. It is a military-clad weapon that should never be in the hand of any civilian, there is simply no need for it. There is no need for it in big game hunting, and no need in the means of self protection either. The sheer ability to unload rounds without stopping is a horrific factor, and it is one that we have seen in other scenarios such as Columbine.

How do we prevent this from happening again? Well, thats a tough question to answer, because there are really few answers. I don't think we can keep the crazies off the streets, or keep them in check at all. But what we can do is this: limit the ability to purchase heavy arms without significant mental testing and approval. There must be more regulation, much more regulation, in order for us to secure a safer state in this nation.

How many clues before we change our failing ways?
