Thanks for posting that, Barry, my old friend. I know it isn't popular, and that the poor families of the slain students at Columbine might not understand, but I believe that society must, after the grieving, get to the true reasons for this senseless crap. It is so easy to throw out an oversimplified reason, pat one's self on the back, and say "there". But as long as we do this, we will end up with problems we thought we dealt with resurfacing. It takes courage to stand and challenge the herd mentality.

If I thought giving up the guns I possess, and my right to own them, would really save lives, I would do so gladly. But nothing I see tells me that this will resolve anything, other than taking away a right I currently possess without getting the desired result.
