And, look back over this thread, and ANY thread any where in this country that touches on guns and I think you will find the majority of posts don't offer ANY solutions or even suggestions of solutions, or even calls for cooperation on finding solutions. They simply want to pound their chests about rights. |

So many excuses for the shooters…bullied, unstable home life. Stop showing these monsters faces on tv. Stop making excuses. These deranged people want their moment in the light even if they die in the process. They are mentally ill, maybe; they are evil for certain. They are cowardly, deranged, evil murderers. Enough. We pray for the families, we cry with them and then our life goes on. Our anger diminishes and then it happens again and again. There have been 14 mass school shooting since Columbine and countless other mass shootings. Enough already. The government needs to start spending money on keeping the schools secure. How does anyone just walk into a school and start shooting?

Please, please, please, separate US inner city gun deaths from the rest of the country when quoting US stats. What happens there does not represent the US as a whole.

The other overused term is "assault weapon". I had a client once who did some time for assault with a deadly weapon. His "assault weapon" of choice? A table leg, which he ripped off the dining room table and used it to chase some people out the door and down the street. Fortunately they were faster than he was so no harm done, other than of course to the table. An assault weapon, under the law, can be ANYTHING--but of course the term has also taken on a sinister connotation and as such is employed at every opportunity. Progress will only be made when reason replaces emotion. But more and more, it seems like the opposite is true, not just in this particular debate.
