In John Kass’ April 24 [1]column, he lists several “facts” (one twice) on why the Waffle House killer’s rampage was not the fault of the National Rifle Association[2] and the Second Amendment apologists.
The one fact that Kass did not list is that given the apparent mental state of the shooter, he should not have been able to purchase his guns in the first place. Then — fact — the government would not have had to take them away. Then — fact — his father would not have been able to give them back to him. And finally — fact — four people would not now be dead and four more would not be injured.
And, in fact, that is the fault of the current day gutless Republicans and the NRA. This is the 21st century and not the 18th.
