A very well done article by Helen Aguirre Ferre' who breaks the mold of most of today's columnists. Thoughtful, balanced and well written, she graphically points out that no more California or Federal restraints could have stopped this rampage.

It should not take another mass murder, like the one that occurred at University of California at Santa Barbara, to make us realize that we have a sinister problem with violence and mental illness.
Apparently, it will take more violence before we seek the right solutions because so many are jumping to the wrong conclusions. Violence and mental illness are the problem; more gun control won’t solve it. The facts are disturbingly similar to the violent murders in recent years committed by young men, but they bear repeating in order to determine if more gun control will stop the next mentally disturbed would-be killer.
