No, I do not believe that 19 children's' lives justify gun ownership, and I don't believe that I suggested that, did I? But, please DO give them my condolences since you plan on contacting them. Thank you.

Not sure where you get the idea that "the worst that would happen is a concussion by being beaten by a bat." I guess that unlike me, you may not have law enforcement experience and know that a bat or club has been the cause of many murders. I believe that death trumps concussion, right? Personally, if someone came at me with a bat, I too would use lethal force to protect myself. I am not as young as I used to be and not quite up to fighting bare hands against a bat wielding assailant. Fortunately, the law allows for self defense, still.
No, I don't have law enforcement, unless you consider the Marines qualifications.

And yes, I am CERTAIN you can kill a person with a bat, but the more likely outcome is someone is unconscious. Please explain how a person with a bat can kill two teachers and 19 children in 2 minutes? I expect it can happen, but it is SO much easier with a semiautomatic weapon. As I have said over and over, guns don't kill people, guns facilitate it.
