Another shooting rampage, Santa Monica
 
http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/07/us/cal...man/index.html

The gunman is killed (good) so we will never know why (the bad)?

Let me be the first to say it;

"Meh. Shit happens and people die. No, you can't have my guns."

Sounds pretty callous, doesn't it?

The gunman has not been identified by authorities, Seabrooks said. She described him as a white male between the age of 25 and 35, clad in black and wearing what appeared to be a ballistic vest. He carried a semi-automatic assault rifle, she said.
Why is it I can only think of sarcastic things to say? :(

Because it feels wrong, but somehow appropriate at the same time? I think it has something to do with these words; "...semi-automatic assault rifle.".

What's amazes me is the great sunny state of Cali with its assault weapons ban, and gun control down to requiring microstamping on firing pins somehow had this happen. How did it happen, those things are illegal there?

Because these laws weren't retroactive?

Or because they don't work?

They sure did in Australia. The trouble is that our lawmakers don't have the balls of former Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
