There was another mall shooting. This time in Maryland. Gun enthusiasts will assure us that this is a price we must pay in order to protect our constitutionally protected gun rights. This is not true.
Anyone who bothers to read the Second Amendment will discover that this right is accorded to “members of a well regulated militia.” This murderer did not belong to any militia, well regulated or otherwise.
Ours is the only civilized country that tolerates this carnage.
