Guns make hate and rage easy to manifest, profoundly. They are rarely the cause of rage, but they are, too often, the tools to express it.

I have no answers, only observations and opinions......
Guns facilitate it. All the way back to the Campus tower in Texas, he could have thrown bats and rocks at the people walking around below him, b ut guns were more effective.

I have a solution, but I am not naive enough to think it has a chance. Stop fighting and arguing and come to a compromise to protect our children (grand and great grand) at School. Something both sides can agree on. I here one side calling for bipartisan work, and I hear the other side talking about all the reasons we can't do anything - you know, god given 2nd amendment.

Well, somehow we managed to free slaves, and give women the vote and the country didn't end. Maybe we can. Find an amendment that both responsible gun owners and responsible anti-gun owners can agree on.

BTW, where is the pro-life outrage? Are these 19 children not worth protecting?
