	The point is not that the man was insane; that was fairly
	obvious to begin with.  The point is that he had a readily available
	means of killing a lot of people.   It was correctly pointed out
	in a prior article that since he was a security guard, that he
	had legitimate access to firearms.  This, indeed, is true.

	I didn't intend to start another gun control argument/discussion...
	since it's unlikely any of us will convince any of the others of
	their point of view.  Personally, I don't think *anybody* should have
	guns...not even the police.

	"What about the legitimate hunters?", I hear you say.  Too bad.
	Small price to pay for eradicating firearms, methinks.  Anyway,
	they could try catching something like a deer on even terms, i.e.
	bare-handed.  That would be a fair fight, and might make it more of 
	a sport and less of a slaughter.
