Having
read and listened to lots of commentary this past weekend, our response
to this tragic event should probably be a complicated “all of the
above.”
The Connecticut killer allegedly used automatic
weapons, which allowed him to fire more rounds than he might have
otherwise. No one expects the U.S. to accept European-style gun control,
but do our citizens really need military-style assault weapons? Even an
armed security person would be challenged trying to intervene in that
situation. At some point, we have to draw a line or risk a domestic arms
race. Do we all really want to become fully-equipped soldiers?
