it's not about a fair fight, it's about a kid getting away with his life.  If the dad grabs a knife has got a chance to get away.  You can't get rid of things like knives that have many important uses.  Hand guns are used for killing, what other use do they have?  How do you want to stop the murder?  Get therapy for every drunk in town?  There's isn't an easy answer.

I don't think we can. We mourn for the mother, and the friends. We don't try to twist it to fit some political agenda it doesn't belong in.

These are my sentiments...I'm not sure what's the Mother's angle in all of this, but I feel some sympathy for her, and as for the political agenda associated with the story...i'll say it again...blaming guns, is like blaming games...this guy had far greater issues, and somehow, if you could kill a child over a game...I'm not sure what's to blame other than the individual.
