Seems to me you're missing your own point ... here, we have a felon with a gun killing a cop and a legal gun owner killing a cop ... so your point here should be ... 'Gun Laws Don't work'
Exo! THINK! The guy who was charged bought the killers gun for him because as a felon the killer could not buy it himself! The arrest was a good one and for good cause.
So tell me? What test do you think that a gun shop owner should have so they know if they are selling to someone that is going to murder someone. In the case of the Vegas shooter, all of his guns were bought legally with the blessing of the Federal Government
Should it be the people that gave the gun owner the OK that are held accountable. And if you think about it, they were just following the rules handed down by Congress, So actually Congress should be held accountable.
NO that won't work, because they are not in charge of enforcement, So the only person that really should be held accountable is the nations Chief Law enforcement officer at the time???? YEP Toss Obama's ass in jail.
Well this is a lot easier than we are making it. We should just declare that there is a moving 50 yard Gun free zone around Police officers.
Every Democrat knows that Gun free zones like Chicago work.
You could also reduce crime by instituting martial law, a mandatory dusk-to-dawn curfew and bugging everyone's television set. OTOH, such a police state is not one in which I would want to live.
