By Patrick J. Buchanan, CNSNews - And what can stop a man full of hate… from getting a weapon in a country of 300 million guns and killing as many as he can in a public place before the police arrive?..

And evil is the right word… While this massacre may be a product of mental illness, it is surely a product of moral depravity.
