I keep hearing about rights under the 2nd Amendment. Yes if one is in a "well regulated Militia". A bunch of gun traders does not appear to me to be well regulated. Oh yes, and that old saw about "if people were allowed to carry guns most of those killings wouldn't happen" is just such crap. Guns carried by kids in schools? Give a kid a car AND a GUN is the logical extension of that stupid argument. Can you imagine that scenario?

Guns! Have you noticed how many have killed so many people lately? Schools, drive bys, people going "postal." It appears that our politicians haven't had enough deaths yet to do anything about it. Yet handguns kill more people than AIDS and may be on a par with heart attacks. A modest suggestion: Stop the sale of hand guns, automatic weapons and all military type weapons. Weapons like that 50 caliber sniper rifle I keep seeing in the news. Imagine a 150 pound deer getting shot by one of those. Sportsmen don't need them. In fact in seems to me that hunters should revert back to black powder rifles in order to be more sporting. But that is another subject.

The older my kids get, the more nervous I will get about sending them to school/college! The guns should go away!! - - What a total waste to lose your child to a random shooting.
Last night on the news, I noticed that the story time on the subject was pretty short. I was surprised that it came and went so quickly. - We are getting used to this type of story. Which, in some ways, might be a good thing since the killers won't become as "famous" as they hope to be.
