HOLY FUCKING SHIT, one of the witnesses used that same old bullshit argument, "I don't blame the guns".
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! Yes it is true an object cannot do anything by itself. But that does not change that a disturbed person REGARDLESS of motive got access to a firearm, and no, I do not give a fuck if it was illegally or legally obtained.
I fail to see what would be wrong with a shop making sure whomever buys one isn't selling it to a disturbed person, because legal at time of buy does not prevent someone from becoming a criminal after a legal buy.
It is very possible and happens all the time, that a disturbed person, be it a mentally ill person, a domestic abuser, religious or political radical, racist, or disgruntled worker, can have no record at time of buy, fly under the radar only to go on to get violent with that firearm.
It is bullshit to think only criminals get them. One can be legal with no record and become a criminal after a legal buy.
