The guy beats his grandmother to death with a hammer, and is:
A) Released from Prison
B) Allowed to acquire firearms
I'm more pro-gun than most, and I don't get how this guy was able to be released, then able to mass firearms.
Wish the best to the surviving families.

Most likely, he got them illegally or from family members but we don't know yet. It is dangerous to assume that he was just able to go out and purchase them.
I thought the same thing, about being released from prison.The guy beats his grandmother to death with a hammer, and is:

Yes, I would hope he was not able to obtain through any kind of legal process, sure the anti's will have another field day with this one.
A real shame, especially at this time of year.

Its not a case of being anti or pro anything, its about using common sense to tackle a real problem that undoubtedly results in part from the laxest gun laws in the industrialized world.
Its certainly not coincidence Australia hasnt had any gun massacres since they tightened their gun laws substantially after the Port Arthur Massacre in 96.
Im tired of people insisting guns arent the problem simply because they are worried it will impact or inconvenience them personally. It is what it is.
If people think nearly 30,000 gun deaths a year and the occasional school massacre is an acceptable price to pay for the ability to own military grade weaponry, then come out and say that instead of pretending its not part of the problem.

The gun statistic is about 1/2 way down. It was actually over 30,000 for the last year available.

This isn't going to go well with mods, but I, also, do not like to see false claims thrown around.That works. I just don't like seeing unsubstantiated claims tossed around.
Your stat was for all deaths by guns, including suicides and accidental discharges.* Roughly 16,272 murders were committed in the United States during 2008. Of these, about 10,886 or 67% were committed with firearms
That's the biggest part for me.A 1994 survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Americans use guns to frighten away intruders who are breaking into their homes about 498,000 times per year
