Anti gun stories: San Bernardino legal weapons in the land of freedom

Stories and News No. 822

I read just now that each of the four weapons used by those responsible for the massacre in San Bernardino, California, including rifles capable of penetrating a bulletproof vest, were regularly purchased...

Once upon a time there was the land of freedom.
Much was free.
A lot was not.
Inevitable, because one would not make sense without the other.
It was free to buy weapons.
Also asking why a country that considered itself to be civil, peaceful and democratic allows the purchase of weapons, but that was unpopular.
In necessarily dark and trembling times.
In necessarily dark and trembling times it was obviously free to sell weapons.
Near home, preferably away from the latter.
Where the echo of gunfire and the screams of the injured is as weak as a blurb on the fourth page on yet another massacre on the opposite side of the heart.

The land of freedom gave to anyone the right to feed hatred and fear.
To perpetrate discrimination.
And timely sacrificing ebony wool lambs on the worst hypocrisy altar.
Where the guilty has already been exposed several times.
Once upon a time there was the land of freedom.
Where much was free.
