Shooting at a Public Event

It seems as if every other week there is a new story about an active shooter.  This goes back to my last blog post, there should be stricter guidelines when it comes to purchasing firearms.  It shouldn't get to a point where anyone should be concerned about going with family or friends to a public event.  It's even more disturbing because on this unfortunate event, the accused wasn't even found, leaving it open for him/her to strike again.  I personally am a lover of guns, and I do believe in the saying "guns don't kill people, the person behind the gun does."  I will stick to my thoughts from my previous blog post about it being hard to spot out the "creeper" who is planning a shooting spree, but I do believe that when trying to purchase a firearm, there should be a thorough check, from criminal history all the way the medical history.  I also believe that the security checks for any event should be completed.  The host of this particular event was very apologetic, however, I wonder, with 6 entry/exit points, how was the security being done.  Especially when someone can go to this event, open fire, kill one person and injure 4-5 others, and then leave undetected.  It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but security measures definitely need to be looked at more serious.  The difficult part would be determining where and when, because these shootings happen anywhere from schools, churches, movie theatre, military installations, etc.  I just find it very sad that people have to be worried about taking their families to a place made for fun and good memories, potentially going wrong.
