I write today with a spirit of extreme sadness we all recover from the shock of the Colorado shootings. I normally use this blog to relate religious themes, today I break that tradition some what to comment of the sad events of Saturday morning.
First, the people who are gun nuts will not like to hear this but I firmly believe that assault weapons should be banned from civilian use. They serve no purpose other than to kill and maim as demonstrated here. I am not going to split hairs about whether the weapon was modified for automatic fire or not. The fact that the idiot who perpetrated this atrocity had a one hundred round magazine for his weapon and even if the weapon was semi automatic he could do much damage with it as he did. Assault weapons in civilian hands have to go.
Second, the boob was wearing body armor and riot gear. I know we live in a free society but products such as these should be subject to control.
Finally, I know that we cannot know what our neighbors are thinking but we as a nation need to wake up and watch for there are dangerous people out there.
I pray that God in his mercy grant peace to the families that lost a loved one in this senseless murder spree. I pray also for the wounded that they may heal swiftly. I pray to see justice done to James Holmes and I cannot at this time ask Him to have mercy on his soul.
