"We" are usually not present when the rock fight starts, so what do the "other children" do? They find rocks to throw back in self defense.

Looks like we are headed into: My rock is bigger than your rock. Wonderful.

Yep, SCOUS interprets the intent of the constitutional framers.

Didn't say I condone the behavior. Did anyone ever play dodge ball as a kid?

Think about it.

How about the view of shooting an unarmed man by a police wannabee with a gun?

Cooler heads prevail. To suggest that the U S Constitution be tempered with is to tempt ""Chavezesque"like leadership to take control.

People get a grip. there are three elements to this debate weapons, the killer and the cultural climate. To suggest weapon control would require confiscation of weapons. If people's reactions to the threat of gun control is any indications then understand that the weapons most talked about have been sold out in central Florida. My guess is that dealing with the remainng two elements would yield greater results. I especially want Hollywood held accountable for their contribution. I also want the media held accountable for the manner in which they portray this mass shooters especially giving them status .

We need to demand self restraint of young people but find their parents have none themselves. Personal disclosure I do not own nor do I want to own a gun. However I do not want our goverment to infringe on my 1st aand 2nd amendments rights

In the interest of remaining apolitical might I suggest that you may want to give that opinion more thought.

[QUOTE=Serenoa;599478]I read this somewhere recently: When a child on a playground throws rocks at other children, do we give the other children handfulls of rocks to throw back?

think about it.[/QUOT

I'm not trying to be flippant or argumentative but what the heck does this mean? I certainly don't intend to sit by and let "rocks" be thrown at me with no means of self defense! Do so as you may! Keep children out of it. No one is suggesting to give guns to children!

in simple terms: the answer to this problem is NOT more guns.

Yes, it is Christmas. And we have the freedom to celebrate it because thousands have fought and died for us to have the constitutional rights we have and can exercise freely.

This video testimony in Congress gives a good perspective....especially the last sentence of this survivor of a gun massacre:

Amend the Constitution(2nd amendment) ? Be careful what you wish for. There are always unintended consequences. Prohibition sounded like a good idea, at the time.
