Legal Gun Killed MLK?

On April 4, 1968, James L. Ray shot Martin Luther King to death, using a rifle he bought LEGALLY. Aren’t the laws supposed to stop that sort of thing? Ray was not only a convicted felon, he was an ESCAPED prisoner. Thus, he shouldn’t have been able to buy a gun. But he did, and he used it to murder an icon. Additionally, law enforcement at the time was so lax he was able to escape to Great Britain, hoping to continue on to Rhodesia. Unfortunately for him, the authorities, by this time, had identified him, and he was extradited, and faced murder charges in the case. This guy was a petty criminal who escaped from prison! How was he able to buy a 30.06 rifle and a box of 20 rounds from a legal gun dealer? Anti-gun fools tell us their laws will stop people from doing this, but they do not. Somebody like Ray, if he wants to do such a terrible crime, will get his gun somehow, if he has to buy it in a back alley somewhere, or just STEAL it. He doesn’t worry about the relatively minor crime of being a felon in possession of a gun. (War Is Boring)
