On Sunday the 5 at Sutherland Springs TX a gunman shot up a small Baptist church. After killing 26 people the youngest being 18 months the shooter left the scene and 2 locals followed him in thier car, on of the locals actully shot the shoot before his car swerved into a ditch killing the shooter. There was alot of arugument over if it was a guns issue or a mental health problem. I think it was a bit of both. The shooter was most likely suffering from mental illness but he was also apart of the air force and was discharged on the accounts of assulting his stepson and wife which he admited to doing. The law prohibits someone who is discharged from the miltray under violante pretances from buying a gun but it dose not stop them from owning one. And there is the argument that if the other cicvilan didnt have his gun then it could have been worse, but in the end inocent people still died. Our country has been in an ongoing contoversy about gun laws maybe this will finnally change our leaders minds into a better dircetion.
