I've scanned the post of this thread.
The children lost , the teachers sacrifice, the parents and families who lost a love one
All should be taken in consideration as well as the law inforcement agencies who did and are doing their best.
However when gun control is mentioned it's the old anti-gun nuts , or from my cold dead hands or when people can't buy guns only crooks will have guns.
VIRGINIA TECH, COLLEGE students shot by a gunmen who bought guns at a pawn shop legally
Aurora Col. people shot in a theater by a gunmen with guns and ammunition bought.legally
Conn. an elementary school children shot by gunmen with guns from his house bought legally
I for one am not asking for the dismissal of the 2nd amendment or for society to give up their guns.
The right to bear arms is an American tradition, if I'm not mistaken responsibility and common sense should fit in there somewhere.
However I as a person could not buy plutonium why because society would not trust me with it.
I could not buy a tank and park it in my driveway, why, because society would not trust me with it.
In short I could not be responsible enough to keep plutonium nor responsible enough to keep a tank.
Perhaps these gun merchants should check more carefully who they are selling guns to?
Perhaps gun owners should be responsible to where their gun winds up?
For some are not responsible enough to own a gun without innocent people being killed.
If you sell guns you should be responsible for who buys it.
If you want to buy a gun you should be responsible for it.
If I let my 14 year old grandson drive my car and he crashes into a police car, who do you think they will question?
When I apply for my drivers license if I am drunk do you think I would get it?
My point is if you are old enough to buy a gun, you should at least have responsibility, at least be responsible enough to keep innocents out of harms way.
