The recent murders of two Minnesotans and the wounding of two others should have been a wake-up call to all of us. A nut job was compelled to kill 4 people for purely political reasons. First, gun laws should have discouraged–if not prevented–this crazy from access to weapons. Second, if one man with open access is encouraged to kill with political justification, where does that end? And, think about it…we’re not just talking Democrats–what if this fever spreads among all armed nut jobs? This may have been an isolated incident. But with over 350 million guns in circulation and such political animosity in Washington on display every day, it’s very possible that this is just the beginning. Because these nut jobs tend to be lone wolves, it will be almost impossible to stop a crime spree once it starts. Violence begets violence. Monkey see, monkey do. Copy cats are all around us–AND THEY’RE ARMED! The worst part: as long as Trump isn’t unhappy with the events of the day–there will be no defensive moves to prevent the next stage. Where do we go from here?
