As another community buried the victims of a deranged gunman’s shooting spree, this time in California, Connecticut’s U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called on Congress to revive gun-control measures introduced, then killed, after the Sandy Hook massacre.
Blumenthal made the suggestion in an appearance Sunday on CBS’s “Face The Nation.”
“I hope, I really sincerely hope, that this tragedy, this unimaginable, unspeakable tragedy, will provide an impetus to bring back measures that would keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people who are severely troubled or deranged like this young man was,” Blumenthal said on the program, according to an account in the news site Talking Points Memo.

Yes this bad. When a young person feels the need to do something like this.
If he was severely troubled and deranged someone dropped the ball. Don't blame the gun and the knife that was used. Family, police etc. should take part of the blame.
