No stomach for the 2nd

I woke this morning with a sick feeling in my stomach and much has not changed after reading this morning's top news from ABC. A man by the name of Micheal McLendon went on a shooting spree today, killing 10 people including his mother and a 18 month old child before killing himself. ABC has the full report: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7055006&page=1.

What could possibly trigger someone to do this? Has life really turned on someone in such a way that they would become so possessed with rage and hate to gun down an unsuspecting community?

We live in a dangerous time, a time when people can take lives into their hands and cut them short by applying a small amount of pressure to a trigger of a gun that was probably purchased legally. I hope all Americans will take a moment to realize that these situations never entered the minds of the framers of the Constitution when they gave us a right to bare arms. Ten people lost the right to live today, because someone exercised their 2nd Amendment privileges.

I don't think the sick feeling is going away.
