Subject: RE: BS: In today's news - rant - how many more?
My children have been taught firearm safety. Neither of them has direct access to firearms. Both of them have been shooting since they were five...Neither of them have ever had a firearm in their possesion at any time without supervision. They did not play with toy guns, and are fully aware of what happens when you pull the trigger. How could anyone be so stupid as to let these children take loaded firearms into a school in the first place? Logic is just not present. Dont dump on the NRA they are helping educate children and support gun safety. Millions of responsible firearm owners are being shit upon by people who do not realize that the problem is not the gun. Guns can be made in the garage of any North American household with ease. Any attempt to control them will be frustrated.It is the will to use them so callously, and without fear of consequence. That my friends is the real root of the problem. A complete disregard for the sanctity of human life. Violence has become worshipped in society. Check out any hockey game. Wrestling, Boxing, TV and Movies.. When was the last time anyone praised lifesavers? All you get is war and gang related killings blasted at kids by the media, until it appears a normal event. Movies are filled with mindless violence. that is part of the problem. Yours,(saddened and outraged by the killings)Aye.Dave
