Sounds like someone I know. All but the shooting anyway. Paroled in 2000. Around 60 years old. I sure hope I do better than he did. What a punk.

Yep; people hollering for more gun laws. Here's a prime example of a gun law that wasn't enforced - a felon with a gun. Beat his grandmother to death with a hammer. Outlaw hammers! He should have spent the rest of his life in prison, or executed, for killing her. Then this would not have happened. Where did he get the gun? Probably bought it from another felon, and yes, chances are it may have been stolen. We don't need more laws, we need the ones we have now enforced.

Itsjustme that would be nice but the ones who want to abolish guns are the same ones who are against capital punishment. They want to rehab them and expect when they hit the streets that they'll go out and be productive members of society. Only true rehab for murderers, child rapists and anyone else who sets out with free will to commit evil is a dirt nap. Obama needs to hire Sheriff Joe out in Arizona. Just put it in his hands and sit back and watch.

Prime example of why the justice system needs to be revamped. Execute these low life piece of trash and they wont be able to get out and harm more people. Its not gun control thats the problem, its the lack of control the government takes in prison reform and punishing criminals. Leave our guns alone and deal with the criminals. Treat them like criminals, not celebrities. Make crime punishable, make prison hell on earth, stop worrying about the rights of criminals and worry about victims rights, carry out sentences to the full and last but not least, CARRY OUT DEATH SENTENCES.

Just eradicate them it is cheaper than building new prisons they don't seem to be able to re-program them.

Yep, another instance of a POS walking the streets that should be in a prison or grave.

Listening to the press conference. The shooter had a lengthy record including murder since 1980. Ok wth? Instead of debating gun control and what not, how about finding funds to open more prisons. For what we spend in foreign aid to country's set on our demise, we could be building places for these wacko's. Instead congress and the president no matter if they have an R or D at the end of their name want to stand in front of a camera and tell you how you should live and what you can and cannot buy while kids and and our fellow citizens are dying from people who gave up their right to exist in society. Its not a black or white issue. I'm not anti government. I'm anti stupidity and lately there's alot of it going around.
