Ferrari Mailing List: Re: let the debate begin

[Martin Stark (mstark]

I agree with Barry.  The gun control that should have been exercised was 
by the killer's mom.  As reported, she knew that there was "something 
off" with her son but didn't take adequate precautions to insure that he 
didn't have access to her firearms.  She and 26 innocents paid the price 
for her negligence.

If anything good comes out of this tragedy it will be increased 
awareness of the importance of keeping firearms out of the hands of 
potential sociopaths.
