I guess you forget Nazi Germany, Venezuela and every other Communist and Socialist country whose first move is to take all the guns. What part of "if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns" do you not understand?

Most people who are voicing there opinions are sitting behind a locked door, however the most important people ,the children are not! Please lock our schools down and solve this problem More than 75 percent of adults work behind locked doors, just doesn't make sense.

Smoking cut in half in less than 20 years. As this relates to this thread, if we cut the mass shootings in half that would be 100 less mass shootings this year alone.
While we may not completely 100% solve a problem, that doesn't mean we shouldn't do what we can. |

Friendly reminder, Hunter obtained the gun legally, and his wife threw it away. But other than that your post is accurate.

Complex issue. Part Of problem is that it is in our founding culture, add To that, very little mental awareness or help. Yes licensing and restriction of AR rifles would help but we are so past that as a possible solution. Hope that our Society finds more answers as now everyone expects it to Become even more rampant. Certainly open carry with no Restrictions cannot help the problem. |

How come the older generation has not killed itself off? Do not know the answer but taken guns from law abiding citizens is not it. |

Back in the day, the "day" in question being 1965, guns in school was nothing out of the ordinary. Gun safety training was offered at the high school I attended and on the range days seeing kids with guns on buses was totally normal. We had to store them at the Principal's office until range time but the ammo we just carried loose in our pockets. Oh--and no self-respecting lad at my school would EVER be caught without his trusty Barlow pocket knife. Saw a teacher borrow one from a kid one time when the pencil sharpener was on the fritz. The three biggest behavior problems were talking in class, chewing gum and running in the halls. And even then, you didn't want your parents knowing. Mom and Dad had a talk with each of us at a young age: "never get in trouble at school and complain to us about it, because you'll be in twice as much trouble when you get home". And they meant it. Oh--just about all of came from two married parents households, raised to take responsibility for our actions, respect hard work, and to take pride in academic accomplishments. One of the proudest days of my high-school life was when I was invited to join the National Honor Society. School was a privilege, not an obligation. Guns were as deadly back then as they are now. But being raised in the right circumstances, with the right values, meant that we respected guns much as would respect any other tool. Blaming the guns for today's ills is on the same par as blaming the fork because you gained ten pounds. Want to fix the problem? Fix the FAMILY. |

And yes. You can hunt with them. My grandson shot his first deer with one, a 10-point buck. |
