   And the scary part is that need to be sitting back to back inside the circle, looking out, keeping an eye out for the NEXT crazy person with a gun, or a knife, or whatever…
   Where will it end?

   We owe those lost children some real solutions.

   There is a story in today’s paper about a woman who has a mentally ill son. This is the best I can do to send you a link to her blog.

   Yes enough with the gun laws, use back ground checks an penalize any who do not fulfill their obligation to put in relevant information on people. Even so the guns were legal, just that the person who used them wasn’t.

   We need a separate law enforcement org. for mental illness tracking and evaluation and if need be incarceration for treatment. It is their right to be treated for their illness or they can’t go free——ever.

   Dianne Feinstein’s bill is the right idea, but the wrong solution. There is no point in outlawing guns. They are out there, there are millions, they are made of metal and will last for a thousand years if they are kept oiled. Failing that, I could find materials in my basement that would produce a workable gun, and it doesn’t take much knowledge of the subject to figure out how to do it.

   Bullets, on the other hand, are time consuming to make and require specific equipment. Production of enough to do serious damage would require planning and patience that are not characteristic of those who shoot up elementary schools. And, working on such a project might attract the attention of someone sane.

   Bullets can be individually stamped, and their sale can be registered, so that every bullet can be traced back to the person who purchased it. This way, a guy who wants to buy a couple boxes of bullets to go shoot deer, or the woman who wants a box to keep with the gun in her bedside drawer, won’t set off any warning bells. But the guy who is buying an arsenal will attract attention before he finds a more lethal way to do it.

   Maybe there shoulda been an AR-15 in the middle pointing at the empty chair, and the caption “Let’s play Spin the Rifle”…

   GUNS DO KILL. Don’t believe the same old nonsense from the pro gun lobby that apparently feel that their right to own an assault weapon is more important than a six year old’s right to turn seven. We’re already hearing the old replies that we heard after Columbine, Luby’s, Va. Tech, and all the other slaughters over the last forty years or so. If the weapons were banned all those children would be alive to celebrate Christmas. If you are arguing for the right to own assault weapons it’s time to reexamine your life and your priorities. You cannot defend the indefensible so please don’t try. It’s offensive

   This had to be the saddest and most shocking massacre yet.
   This is indefensible!

    There is hope for the world if you can still imagine the terror that those children endured in the last moments of their lives.

    It means you have empathy. Times like this we wish for the Bliss of Ignorance, because we can’t unknow this travesty.

    Don’t let them have died in vain! PUSH HARD for real GUN CONTROL, NOW!

    “You must have had to take lessons to be that dumb.”
    .
    As opposed to you who got so dumb by believing what you read on bumper stickers!
    .
    Aren’t one of the crowd of clowns that was all over the “You didn’t build that!” meme? Yes you were and are. And now here you are arguing the exact opposite. “Gun’s didn’t do that! Somebody else did that!”
    .
    What a shameless set of positions you allow to crawl all over you.

    As a Canadian, let me express my thanks for living ‘next door’ to America and your guns. Yes, I am grateful for the dealers (legal and illegal) who ship guns up here, thank you! Thank you for the support your NRA provided to help us with our now-gone long gun registry! Thank you for the gun lovers who come to my country and are appalled at how backward our laws are, thank you. (Check out this year’s Calgary Stampede for an example.) Also, on behalf of all our Mexican neighbours, thank you for flooding Mexico with guns so that even more people (especially those in the border towns!) are safe. Thank you, thank you! It’s really too good of you, yes it is! No, no, please, no more, you’re embarrassing us! Please, it’s too much, you shouldn’t have! Ever.

    Think about this. Guns were invented with the SOLE design purpose of causing such extremely serious bodily injury to a living creature that it is unlikely to survive such a wound.
    All improvements made in guns since the 2nd Amendment was ratified were intended to increase the severity of wounding and to increase the amount of wounds that a single shooter can inflict.

    I forgot. Another set of improvements was to increase the distance that someone can inflict such grievous wounds. In fact, some guns can kill someone from a mile and a half away, and that is nothing short of assassination.

    Are liberals are too dumb to understand the best defense against bad people with guns is more good people with guns?
    
    The craven POS murderer went where he knew no one would be armed.
