The FedEx shooter was licensed to kill

You only have to read the headlines in the American press to know what underlies the mass shooting at the FedEx warehouse in Indianapolis. The gunman had bought two assault rifles legally. Legally!! He had just walked into a gunshop and presumably pointed to the assault rifle he fancied and said he would have two please. Certainly, sir, the gunshop owner would have replied. And what sort of ammunition would like and how many? The owner of the shop might have even passed comment on the purchase. "Good rifle that. Excellent choice." And away he goes and, allegedly, kills eight people and wounds many others. The alleged shooter was still a teenager. Nineteen years old. It beggars belief that here we are a quarter of a way through 2021, 230 years after the Second Amendment of the US constitution was enshrined in law, allowing citizens to carry guns, and all Americans, except those certified as mentally deranged, can buy a military-style assault weapon on any day of the week they choose and walk off into the sunset without a single person, let alone the gunshop owner, saying: "Hey wait a minute what do you want that for, or I'm calling the police, or no you can't buy it." What I tire of hearing after yet anothing mass shooting in the United States is the president declaring that something must be done to stop these terrible shootings and yet has no courage to do anything meaningful about it. Because it's the sacrosanct Second Amendment. Doesn't anyone think for a moment that perhaps things were probably a bit different in 1791 when the amendment became law and that maybe the fathers of the US constitution would be turning over in their graves in anger and frustration that what they thought was right and proper then absolutely isn't today more than two centuries later. Whatever Joe Biden does won't be enough and there will be more shootings. Tragic!
