Too busy rounding up the pigs to build the fence

During the last two weeks as the murderer/sniper that has terrorized the Washington DC area has killed one innocent person after another, no one seems to be asking why there are so many weapons floating around and why its so easy to get such guns in America. Sure, the main reason this is happening is because there is an evil person willing to do it. But it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't so easy to obtain weapons in our country. And it wouldn't be so easy for the murderer to escape capture if the police had no idea where to begin searching because we are awash in weaponry. There is no reason why we should accept this deplorable situation. Is it more important thay gun enthusiasts have their toys or is it more important that we be free of fear of being offed by irate drivers, angry spouses, or insane terrorists?

Here again, we Oklahomans and Americans are not treating the root causes. We rightfully try to catch Al Quida but we do not address the causes of the terrorist problem (blind support of all that Israel does, tyranny in Islamic countries, + misinformation about America). We try to catch murderers at home but we fail to address root causes (free-flowing guns, hate, and lots of people unable to handle anger).
