Another day another American gun rampage.

Santa Monica... Suburb of L.A.... Where your chances of getting a permit to lawfully carry roughly correspond to the volume of your campaign donations.

I'm not suggesting that it would have made a difference at all, but it's not any wonder why no armed citizens came to aid in a jurisdiction where it's illegal to carry.

Unfortunately, concerning gun control, you either need to let everyone have guns, or ensure that nobody gets them, otherwise you end up with stupid situations like this. Criminals will always break the law; it's what they do. This is why I believe it's better to let everyone have guns rather than just having the government and criminals with all of them. By all means, put some control over crazy people getting them, but banning them completely whilst they are still in the hands of criminals is a ridiculous idea.
