Another life lost to reckless guns

Shocking news over the weekend: Illinois small town pastor mysteriously killed by unknown person during sermon.
On Monday this news item got bumped off headlines... replaced by pretty much same old news of more signs of sinking economy.

There is no apparent motive.

Even if the guy has intense hatred toward the pastor, he could have choose a better time and place where he can escape. He did not intense to escape. He would have killed himself if his gun is not jammed. Obviously this guy has some psychological issues.

People with mental issues are dangerous. Guns are dangerous. Add them up you can get disastrous results.

This news should get a lot more attention. Debates over stem cell research can wait. Gun control never get enough attention.

The church is always an open door, so anyone in any mental health condition could enter a service or a club and threaten the safety of the congregation.
