This means every 4 days as many little kids die as were killed in the recent shooting. Where is the cry and uproar to have parental control? shouldn't we protect the children by restricting who can be a parent? does a life only count if it's taken by a gun? Lets license and put controls on who can be parent before we think about restricitng guns, we will save far more kids. National Child Abuse Statistics | Childhelp

We could also save a lot of children's lives by putting seat belts on school buses.

I hate when special interest groups (the gun people, both pro/con)invade on the heartache of situations like CT to further their own agendas.
