I don’t think anyone’s first reaction was worrying about their gun rights. People need to get smart. You cannot disarm the honest people and leave it to the dishonest people to honor ‘gun control’. Stop it. Using the pathos of a child massacre doesnt change this. Blame the media, first.

And what about the literally 1000s of innocent children we have slaughtered as ‘collateral damage’ in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why don’t they count as humans?

I didn’t mean to overgeneralize, and I’m sorry if I gave that impression. But I did see comments online on news articles and on Facebook by people putting the gun rights thing above all else, including the lives of children. And I’m not sure where I gave the impression that children losing their lives as a result of war was in any way something trivial. It hit close to home, okay? I’m not saying people should turn in their guns. I am saying that I hope this would prompt more people to be more responsible with the guns they do have, and some psycho should never have been able to get his hands on one.

nah, Shambles, as a parent of a young’n, i understand that this would be a harsh situation. I was extra fired-up, myself and this is a tough thing to solve or prevent. Not sure how we keep guns only in sane hands. Not even sure how we ascertain ‘sane’ at any given minute…
