First, I'd like to give those innocent little cherubs who lost their lives so abruptly a moment of silence. They are the one's who deserved life more than any adult and certainly more than the lunatic that ended theirs.
Please don't add this to any thread that politicizes this tragedy using Betty Crocker, shack and back solutions. We don't need flag wavers or banner carriers strutting their politics over the bodies of these dead kids. They don't deserve it and frankly, such grandstanding doesn't confront the fact that no sane person would have hurt kids, not with a gun, not with a toothpick, not with a Que-tip.
What is going on with our society that would create such insanity? I know there are some that would come out with the blanket statement that we should get rid of the guns, but I'm sure we all know that's not going to happen. While I don't own a gun and see no reason to have one, I don't see a reason for them to be banned, totally.
What I see is that those who do own guns need to be responsible for those guns and any crime, especially killing that these guns are involved in the owners security procedures should be evaluated and If the owner was found grossly negligent or even negligent, they should suffer the consequences of their inactions. From what I understand the mother of the Connecticut shooter was a gun enthusiast and took her son to the shooting range with her. To my knowledge, the shooter was known to be socially awkward, which to me means he was quite and maybe a loner.
This, to me puts up red flags, since in my 50+ years on this world I have heard of very few of mass murders that were socially adequate. Would it not be prudent for socially awkward kids to be, at least counseled and, if determined to need further counseling, they could be get it. This, IMO might just identify abusive home life and hopefully stop sexual crimes against kids.
What do you think?
