My posted thoughts above weren't aimed at you, ScooterJim, but just in general. I probably shouldn't have quoted what you posted, and didn't mean that directed at you. I apologize if my post came off that way.
What I don't understand is this call for more legislation. In this case, existing legislation was not followed. Even in the extreme case of Las Vegas, where every existing "safeguard" could not have prevented it, there is just no way to legislate against "evil". And pure and simple, that's just what these acts are.
Any attempt to do so just infringes on peoples legal rights, and never deters those insistent on committing these evil acts. Case in point are suicide laws, which have been mostly nullified and have ever rarely been prosecuted. You just can't legislate evil.
