Another senseless act, and we will be the ones punished

So, some shitbag decides to set a house on fire...and then wait for the fire department to show up...so he can start shooting at them.  What is wrong with people???  Where did the moral fiber in this country go?

I, of course, am horrified, and I feel terrible for the family of the victims.  These were firefighters!  Innocent beyond belief.  I'm incredibly saddened by this.

Here is an excerpt of the report that I think is very important to note however (and i'm X'ing out this shitheads name):

Webster Police have identified the shooter as 62-year-old X. X was found dead near the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. X was arrested in 1980 for beating and killing his grandmother. He was convicted in 1981 and served time until 1998. He was on supervised parole until 2006. 

Based on this, I'm sure it was completely illegal for this guy to have a firearm.  I bet this will be used as another reason to take away our firearms.  We, the responsible gun owners in this country will be punished for the actions of these people.

I hope the work is done to find out where this shitbag got his weapons, and if it is found that someone provided firearms to this asshole, then prosecutions should be swift and substantial.

Bad people will find ways to hurt innocent people...McVeigh, and Bin Laden are examples of that.

Mental Health and adequate prosecution is the problem!  This guy is an example of that...who beats and kills his grandmother?  He should have been executed for that...but instead he served time...was released...and now he's killed innocent people.

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again:  Banning guns will not solve the problem.  Punishing the law abiding citizens of this country will not solve the problem.  Even if guns were all banned, bad people will still have access to them...just as marijuana is available in every city of our country.  Mental health is not given enough attention.

UPDATE:  An arrest was made today (Dec 28th), a 24 year old female who bought the weapons for 62 year old X.  This is a step in the right direction.  Fingers crossed for swift and stern punishment.
