Loughner declined from the army, but passed a background check to buy a gun?

I still see Loughner being labeled as "alleged" shooter or "accused" shooter. He DID IT, plenty of people witnessed the crime. So why wasted years and years of time and money in the Justice System. Don't care about any of the "why" he did it. he just did it. Now why waste years and money on him (even giving him a chance to some day do it again, ever how remote that is). We need a hanging Judge court for the obviously guilty and just have them taken out back and show them they same courtesy they have shown others. Spend a decade with this type court and you can bet the US numbers will drop as low as those countries proud of the fact they restrict and indivdual's right to bear arms.

Im sure that would have stopped someone like Jared Loughner, right?

We live in a not so great community. With that said, having a gun in the house would make me more worried for the wellbeing of the children in the house than the rare chance an invader would break in. Like someone said earlier, its whatever makes you feel safer, I just know that guns in the house wouldn't make me feel any safer.

Thankfully, we are moving out soon to a much nicer neighborhood, a bit more rural. It'll be nice to let the kids play outside and not have to be on top of them.

Perhaps those of you who live in fear should do the same? I don't understand why anyone would go through that fear everyday.
