Alabama Mass Shootings Underscore Insanity Of US Gun Availability

The gunman who went on a two-county shooting spree earlier this week in Alabama carried two extremely high-powered assault-type rifles, so it is not surprising that the death toll was high, and that he could fire with fatal results from an automobile.

As long as you can walk into a gun show or dealer's shop and purchase weapons designed for military purposes, we will continue to suffer these calamities.

Perhaps it underscores more the insanity of the shooters?

That's my point. We let insane people have easy access to military-style weapons.
