Why is Chicago's mayor Daley saying the Fort Hood tragedy was because Americans love guns?

Did someone explain to him that the U.S. Army has gun, and is supposed to have guns?

    He said that America loves guns, we see the devastation from that every day and you can't blame a whole group for the actions of one individual. Mainly he was talking about people blaming Arabs/Muslims for what happened, the gun thing was just an aside I think. He was talking at a school when he was introducing a new Arabic language program or something.

    Daley is a total idiot though...

    That guy didn't use Army guns though did he, those were his own personal weapons I think?

    I think that what Mayor Daley was trying to say is that gun ownership does not protect you from other people wielding powerful firearms, and some of those people wielding firearms should not have them.

    The FN Herstal Five-seveN tactical pistol involved in the Ft. Hood shooting was not issued by the Army; it was purchased legally at a Texas gun shop and may have used an expanded 31-round clip. It is still legally available for purchase to anyone in Texas, military or civilian.

    "On FN Herstal's webpage, the benefits of the Five-seveN pistol note that it can "defeat the enemy in all close combat situations in urban areas, jungle conditions, night missions and any self defense action.""

    Please explain to me how this kind of firepower will ever be needed in self-defense, or why an Army psychologist would ever require such a weapon?

    Because he is a anti-gun communist pinko...he's got his nose shoved so far up Comrade Obama's azz that if Comrade Obama came to a sudden stop Daley would fly out of Obama's mouth.

    Because to admit the real cause of the shooting would be much less popular. He's probably pushing Obama's gun control agenda. They're taking our prosperity and freedom....they MUST take away our guns before we realize what they're doing and try to fight to regain our rights back.
