I think we can all agree that what happened to that family is a terrible, goddamned shame. But this is a result of mental illness, and that is what needs to be addressed, not the weapons that were involved (which is what the snarky comments are pointing out.) It doesn't matter if they were killed with a gun, a knife, a hammer, or a Wii remote. Genuinely disturbed people will always find a way to harm others in one way or another, so our government and our healthcare system both need to step up and start formulating a better plan to help these folks with mental problems. Simply banning guns, knives, or bricks isn't going to magically stop sick people from killing each other.
