You're right "MXMISSILE". Benjamin was sombody's son, and just yesterday was a boy. At only 24 I can't imagine what it woud be like to have been deployed, witnessing killings/murders, returning to the States and trying to adjust...and then if that's not enough a custody dispute with a biased and/or partial Guardian ad litem having more influence than legally entitled to.

A law prohibiting loaded/unloaded weapons in public parks would have made no difference in this situation. Bill Wade makes it sound as is if the suspect patiently waited in line and ranked 'n filed in with the rest of the tourists with his cleverly concealed weapons. The suspect was determined to enter the park either way...in fact, if Bill Wade had it his way then it could have been much more dangerous with vehicle inspections and dozens waiting around to enter there would be dozens of victims.

It's sad that there is so little treatment available for vets suffering post-traumatic stress, with tragic consequences. There was one such incident early in 2011 here in Eugene, where a PTSD vet shot at cars at Valley River Center, then was subsequently shot and paralyzed by police. Please join me and various non-profit organizations in lighting a candle for shooting victims at a candlelight vigil, Jan 8, at 5 PM, at the federal old courthouse at 7th and Pearl in Eugene. Mayor Piercy will be the keynote speaker.

First of all I want to send my condolences to the Anderson Family for their loss. This incident without a doubt is very tragic! Oh how I wish there were an easy way to stop these types of meaningless killings. However, I highly doubt that having any sort of "Gun Control Law" in effect would have made this killer stop and check his guns in before entering the National Park. I know Bill Wade and his Coalition of Nation Park Service Retirees mean well but for him to say that "Sunday's fatal shooting a tragedy that could have been prevented." had there been some sort of ban on loaded guns from entering National Parks is quite frankly just asinine!

I am sorry for everyone involved. The fella should have got help. War is not good. Only for those profiting from it. War is the biggest scam ever. That includes all of them that the U.S has been in. Its not about freedom. It is about other countries natural resources. Our freedom to take take them at war value.
