My heart goes out to the victims’ families of the latest shooting in Colorado. As far as that goes, any family that has to endure the loss of a loved one from any senseless act such as this.
Let’s forget the reports from newspaper and television articles that the alleged shooter was not U.S.-born. Let’s put aside the alleged shooter reportedly had delusional episodes and mental issues.
What I don’t understand is how a person can walk into a firearms store and allegedly purchase a semi-automatic weapon and walk out with it?
Please don’t misunderstand me. I believe I as well as anyone has the right to keep and bear arms. I am a law-abiding citizen having been a homeowner for 44 years. Raised three great boys with the help of my wife of 47 years and am the owner of a concealed weapons permit. So why do I have to wait over six weeks to actually walk out of the store with my gun?
