Idiots with Guns (SSR)

Two days ago an idiot with a gun went inside New Jersey State Plaza and fired a couple of rounds. Nobody was hurt inside the mall and the aggressors body was found a few miles away from the mall after the shooting. 

I get highly upset when I hear stories like these on the news. First off it makes me feel unsafe to be out in public and it makes me worry about my family and friends being out in public also. I should feel comfortable to leave my house and be out in the open. I shouldn't have to be stressing about a psycho popping up out of nowhere and attacking me. It is unfair that my life is put in danger simply because I step foot outside of my home. I shouldn't be afraid to do a little shopping just because any mentally unstable individual can easily get their hands on a gun.

This brings me to my second point: guns are so easily attainable now a days. The government is so stingy with offering free medical assistance but guns are being sold to minors everyday. It's obvious that these guns are being sold on the streets. But what I'm saying is that at some point that gun was sold from a gun shop. It was sold to an untrustworthy individual that let that firearm make it to the streets and to the hands of another reckless human being. It isn't guns that kill people, people kill people.

It is the government's job and responsibility to protect its' citizens and make them feel safe. I can honestly say the US Government is NOT carrying out this responsibility to their fullest. Facing death should not be an every day part of life.
