My kids are both in elementary school too. And i cannot come close to figuring out why somebody could murder a child. But try and follow my logic for a second.....Bad people will do bad things. There have been lots of cases where parents kill thier own kids. Maybe something snaps in thier brain or maybe they are just pure evil? But whatever the reason, they commit horrible acts. Guns and especially assualt style weapons are easy to blame. But everytime we ban or limit them, another shooting takes place. Columbine, Virginia Tech, University of Texas, Trolley square here in Utah and on and on. It isnt the weapon! It is the crazy person behind it! I am all for keeping guns away from people that have mental issues. But we cant even keep them away from criminals who are prohibited by law to have them! I just dont think taking them away would fix the issue. I have friends who own and shoot assualt waepons. They are good, law-abiding citizens who work in places thet require security clearances. Why should they have to give up their guns because some insane person goes nuts?


Yanuck, I am heart broken for these kids. I feel like i have been in a cloud since it happened. It is sickening and tragic and unthinkable. I know you are feeling just as bad if not worse. But the gun isnt the trouble in this country. It's the parenting, the violence, the unaccountability, the lazyness, the forgetting about God, the loss of work ethic and the good folks who have allowed evil to surround all of us without realizing their will be consequences. I have know idea except for from the media, how this 20 year old that killed these kids was raised. He must of had a lot of wiring problems in his brain. If he couldnt of gotten guns he may have used dynamite or a car or a million other things. I dont know the answers and hope we all can focus on loving our kids and being decent human beings. God bless the families and everyone.


Yanuck, I hope ya know my whole family thinks the world of you and your family. I sure dont want to tick ya off by my comments. And i can sure see where you are coming from. Be Blessed.
