Senator Mark Warner has changed his view of gun control in light of Friday's events. He's calling for stricter gun regulations, but still preserving the Second Amendment.
It's a start.
It's a start.
i never openly sobbed at any point after 9-11 the way i did this morning when i listened to Mika Brzezinski list the names of the 20 children and the things they liked (baseball, jumping on the trampoline, a new pink dress bought for the holidays). and i knew people who died in 9-11, as well as people who literally ran out of the towers as bodies fell like sacks of potatoes all around them.
i wonder what could have been going through those children's minds as something that could never have known or understood was happening to them, and how we, as adults, as a society, utterly failed them -- children rely on adults absolutely to keep them safe and protected, and they were murdered. for me, it's less about a loss of innocence than an utter betrayal of trust that they aren't even aware of.
i don't even know if that makes sense.

Given how quickly that gun discharges bullets, I imagine a lot of them didn't have any time to really think about things before they died.
You have to really feel for their siblings, especially ones that were in the same school. The one boy who was buried today had a twin sister in an adjacent classroom and she lived. I can't even imagine how difficult her life will be going forward.
I wonder if this is correct, It may have been reportedThere was one girl who survived the shooting. She played dead and when it was safe to leave, she found her father and said "all my friends are dead".
I can't imagine the trauma and guilt she'll have as she grows older.
I wonder if this is correct, It may have been reported
if she was in 'the room' and he shot each child multiple times, and I have seen that stated enough times that I believe it is correct, this story does not add up.
why?
12 or 15 rounds is still too many.
The right to bare arms was put into place during the time of muskets. It was never intended to allow for weapons of mass death.
It's hard for many Americans as well.
I found out this morning that one of the murdered teachers was also one of my company's employees.
It makes sense. What was going through their minds, it's just so painful to even have that thought.
Seeing their pictures-the little girl with the red hair, the little boy with the temporary New York Giants tattoo on his face. He was buried today. It's just overwhelming for me. But I want to look at their pictures and remember their faces.
Because this country is going to hell.
So evidently his mother was a Mayan 2012er survivalist which explains the nature of the weapons. They need to really screen people. If your answer for getting a gun is anything other than, hunting, collecting, or home defense, the gun license should be denied.
re-read both of these posts and then tell me if you should own a concealed weapon in a country that's going to hell.
This country is on the road to another crisis not seen since the 1850s. The partisan divide in this country grows deeper every year. Look at the twitter comments of the people who had their football game get preempted for 10 minutes because of President Obama's speech. The vile and hate was unreal. We're not there yet, but give it 10-15 years.
so let's arm ourselves?
That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying people need assault rifles and 60 round clips. A simple handgun or even a revolver isn't unreasonable.
When power was off for a week after Sandy and the home invasions and looting started, it would be smart to be able to defend yourself, your family and your home.
i agree that a simple weapon isn't unreasonable, but that assault weapons are really unreasonable.
This.
Is.
Not.
An.
Excuse.
At all.
I bet Australia has a black market for guns too and you see the stas there.
This excuse needs to die in the fiery pits of hell.
I know this is going to be very controversial here, but I honestly believe someone at every school should have access to some sort of firearm, be it on them or locked up somewhere in the school.
