We should do both. I don't disagree with the overall aim


of erring on the side of individual freedom. That is among my personal guiding principles in politics. And without a doubt, more should be done to try to identify these people and prevent the violence. Including finding out what went wrong here, and it sure seems like something did. But in general, we have to realize that it is always much easier to identify what was missed after the person in question is known to be a murderer. All of us would probably be shocked at the number and types of tips that come into tip lines on a constant basis. It's always a piece of cake to armchair QB what was missed than trying to pick a needle in a, if not haystack, a pretty big stack of needles, before the criminal emerges as a criminal.

So there are no easy answers, no single answers, and whatever your view of the use of "regulated militia" is, fact is they qualified the Right for some reason, and it should not be used in an absolute sense, ever, to say "any restrictions on guns" are Constitutionally off the table.
