We live in a mad world, where the only sane response would have been to ban guns!

This is a good example of the media's thinking , and attack methodology regarding guns.

Notice that they do not make the argument to ban guns directly in the headline - they know it's a non starter. So we get this "if only the people were SANE" line.

Curiously, they fail to mention that mad boy was already disqualified to own a gun my reason of his pot use (See form 4473 question 11e) If only local law enforcement had had any kind of reason to search his home.....

Oh, wait. Sherrif Dupnik has Bigger fish to fry.

And some people think they are better informed by using MSNBC/NYT.
