Sandy Hook should have initiated this conversation almost 6 years ago, but if the slaughter of 20 six and seven year olds couldn't move the needle...what in the he!! will? 
Especially when you have people believing nutjobs like Alex Jones...in that Sandy Hook never even happened?  |
I'm just curious. What new gun laws would you propose? I'm pretty sure if someone is willing to break the law against killing people, which is the most basic law of all, they're not likely to follow any new gun law that anyone can think up.
We need to figure out why kids feel the answer to their problems is killing other kids. In my
opinion the guy that posted in the other thread about technology and the social disconnect of a good part of this generation is a leading contributor.
There have been guns around for as long as we have been a nation. It's just in modern times that we've seen the widespread mass killings. And this one wasn't even with an "assault" rifle. It was with weapons that are about as low tech as you can get.
We need to get to the root problem. Why do kids resort to mass killings as a form of conflict resolution?
