Guns don't kill as many people as tobacco and alcohol, so they must be okay.

This is just manipulation of stats to make a pretty picture. Someone could easily come up with 9 causes of death to compare to firearm homicides to make the latter seem like an epidemic.

I'm not ready for this. I can't talk about this. The people already coming out to defend their rights to own guns make me sick. As if to say, "If only those school children had been packing heat, this could have been prevented. Stupid gun-free school zones!"

i dont see anybody advoacting the children packed heat. though i did suggest the teachers be allowed to protect themselves.

and my comment on gun free zones was to show how dangerous they are. and if you read my comments the very first thing a wrote was about how we need to pray for the victims and their families.

its the gun control crowd, that the very first thing that comes to their mind is ban guns.

I just want things like this to stop happening, or to happen as infrequently as realistically possible. Whatever has to be done to accomplish that, I can get behind. It happens that I personally believe the appropriate course of action is less guns and stronger restrictions on ownership. I don't need guns to be entirely banned. But when I hear that the shooter got all four of his guns from his mother the kindergarten teacher, who bought them legally, I know something's wrong. What does a kindergarten teacher need four guns for? Isn't one enough?
