SO, ONLY COPS SHOULD HAVE GUNS?

Well, now what.

"CRANDON, Wis. (AP) - The residents Tyler Peterson was hired to protect and serve can't understand how the 20-year-old who shot six of their young people and critically injured another could have passed a background check to become a sheriff's deputy.
Peterson was shot to death after opening fire early Sunday on a group of students and recent graduates who had gathered for pizza and movies on their high school's homecoming weekend. Peterson was off-duty from his full-time job as a Forest County deputy sheriff; he also was a part-time Crandon police officer."


I thought that the cops were supposed to be the only ones smart and mature enough that we could trust with guns. But then how, could a northern Wisconsin sheriffs deputy shoot and kill six young people, apparently in a jealous rage over one of the younger girls, and, in Wisconsin no less, one of only two states that protect it's citizens safety by demanding that they rely on police for their security and deny them the right to carry weapons for personal protection.

I'm so confused, what do we do now?????????

He was off duty, so it doesn't count.
