(95,337 posts)Then what's your excuse when a Teacher goes berserk and decides to shoot-up the classroom.
The gun problem solution isn't more guns. More guns just means more opportunities to ensure that someone who isn't playing with a full deck or has a gripe against someone else can just use '2nd amendment laws' to deal with their problems.
I have no problems with guns, I come from a family that owns guns. And those that owns make sure they know how to use them and keeps them locked up when not in use.
What's worse with this crime is that the shooter had automatic weapons, someone that a few years ago was not available in this country. But thanks to our congress led by GOP gunnuts, they let the assault weapon ban expire.
I can't say whether or not the ban would have prevented this but if the guy didn't have such highpowered weapons maybe we could have prevented more deaths IF it happened.
