The Great Gun Debate

Ah the 2nd Amendment. That right to keep and bare...bear...arms.

Here's something to think about.

If you say criminals will get guns anyway..

When it comes to these mass shootings, these people aren't criminals,  yet. They are mentally unstable.

Plus, why do civilians need assault rifles?

I have no problems with hand guns, though I have to say, having family that was murdered in their beds, the guns that were sitting in the nightstand did nothing to protect them. But again, I have no problem with those.

I also have a huge problem with turning our schools into high security prisons and having principals armed.

How long before a kid gets hold of a faculty member's weapon.

There has to be a better way to keep people and our children safe.

I think it has to come from tougher screening and keeping weapons out of the hands of people with mental illness and even their family. If not that, tougher regulation on the amount of ammunition.

Then, the media needs to shut up.

These children and adults are gone. Let the families pick up their pieces in silence. Let them grieve and get the cameras out of their faces.

If you want to do something for them, pray for them. Their loss won't be forgotten.
