Yes, and you will make sure your child isn't bringing a sawed-off shotgun to school to blow away the local brute squad, as will I.  What I'm saying is, things need to be done NOW to prevent this, like children being supervised more closely by THIER PARENTS.  And the states truly do need to enact stricter guns laws.  Yes, the 2nd amendment affords us the right to bear arms...against bears and stuff like that!  I mean, this country was mostly frontier land when these amendments were created, when a settler needed weapons for everyday life.  You tell me why people need a semi-automatic weapons in their homes.  Someone once told me that Nazi Germany enacted strict gun laws before they took over the country and so did Communist Russia and so did several other countries that aren't as free as America.  Well, I'm sorry, but in my humble (twisted) opinion, this government, both democratic and republican and any other group, does not care for Joe (Josephine) Q. Public far enough to pee on them when he/she's on fire, much less try and "take us over".  If they cared so much to "take us over", maybe we could get public healthcare out of the deal.



Yeah, that was extreme, I'm sorry.  Just a little outburst.  Please forgive me. I just get annoyed to hear that we, as a society, need more guns.  And our president, bless his heart cuz I know he means well, let's the citizens of Texas walk around with the things out in the open (shudders).  I do not like guns.  And having them near children is stupid (sorry, I'm being harsh again).  When children feel isolated to the point where too many others are being hurt, we need to act as a society.  Child is the father/mother of man/woman.  We need to start investing further in the future of our children.  Because if the morals of our country are falling to pieces, we only have ourselves to blame.
