What in the world is happening? Need to rethink gun laws!?!
Sounds like a love triangle that he didn't like.
We do not need to rethink gun laws. We need to have morals that are strong. For instance, wrong is always wrong even if you want it to be right. And maybe people should be thinking about the fact that someone nearby could be armed and maybe they'll shoot back.
