Hello Everyone,
I've read your posts and there is a lot of passion on both sides. When news hit about the children killed in their school room I was enraged and sickened. I could connect and empathize with the parent's grief at the loss of their young darlings. As a father of three, (all grown now), I could feel the sorrow. In looking for solutions this country has very limited interventions and access to help for the mentally ill. If we could divert some of our funding away from our con artist legislatures special interest money into community based mental health treatment centers some of these sick souls who perpetrate these killings could possibly be identifed and cut off from access to firearms. At this time in America the 2nd Ammendment needs to be maintained and the people who can undergo a more stringent background check should be allowed gun ownership. There is a horrible trend going on in the suburbs done by young thugs in gangs called home invasion where your front door is kicked in and they come in shooting. I keep a loaded 9mm next to my recliner at all times.
