Killings In Tennessee: Guns Make Mayhem Much Easier

A year ago it was a killing spree in a Tennessee Unitarian church.

Steve McNair - - the retired Tennessee Titans NFL quarterback was later killed by a girlfriend with an illegally-purchased handgun - - had been buried just a few days when news came in this weekend about another mass murder spree by gunfire in Tennessee and just across the Alabama border.

Some will no doubt say that guns don't kill people - - it's people that kill people - - but doesn't the easy access to firearms make all that killing easier to carry out?
