What happened in Webster,
NY yesterday could have happened
anywhere. It could have been people I
know, people I am related to, could have been any of us in slightly different
circumstances. It was, a couple of years
ago, again here in NY when an EMT was shot and killed at a house he tried to
enter on a call.
“Police say Spengler
was convicted in 1981 for beating his grandmother to death with a hammer and
was released from prison in 1998. They’re trying to determine how he had weapons
in his possession.
“Spengler was a
convicted felon. He’s not allowed to possess weapons. Did he legally possess
those weapons? No,” said Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering.”
So then how did he get the guns? If there are all the background checks every
time someone gets a gun, how did this man possess them? How does anyone with criminal intent get a
gun? We’re not talking the gritty city
streets where guns get stashed in trash cans for anyone in the neighborhood to
use, and a lot of people can supply a weapon of choice for the asking. We’re talking a quiet almost rural town, like
the one I’m in and many of you are in.
How did he get the guns?
