Briefs

Let me offer the brief statement that, if a college student has been in trouble with police for stalking women and had definitive mental health problems and suicidal tendencies and was deemed a threat to himself and others, he maybe shouldn't be allowed to walk into a store and purchase two guns as easily as he did.

Let me also offer the statement that, if the same same student goes on a mass killing spree and in between shootings sends videos and writings and pictures to NBC News, it would probably behoove that news organization to NOT run them on their air, essentially validating the aims of a twisted mind who could easily spawn copycats if they knew their words, too, could make it onto the teevee.
