I see people on TV speaking of the need to restrict guns
because of the danger guns present if not secured and handled with
responsibility. I know the poor woman
was murdered by her own son using her own gun, but why didn't she secure those
firearms away from the reach of an 'autistic' son? Therein is the responsibility of gun
ownership.
I see people who earnestly believe that guns are the reason
there is so much violence in the world today and that the citizenry of the USA
would be better off without them. These
people are fools looking for utopia. Of
course it would be nice if we all got along and no violence ever occurred but a
normal human knows that violence is with us and has been with us in our long
history. The removal of guns from
society does not quell violence but it does increase the chances for
oppression.
I am disgusted by some in the press who are blatantly
exploiting a tragedy to achieve political ends. Utopia is not achievable no matter what these
people say. The immediate solution to
the problem of school safety is to arm school personnel and station an armed
guard at every school. This should be
done immediately in order to prevent a copycat.
Hire returning veterans for these jobs.
Canvass school personnel for hidden carry cardholders for an immediate
preventative measure. Act fast and act
now while the anti gun people threaten law abiding citizens with an ammunition
squeeze and increased regulation. I view
our responsible gun owners as a valuable public resource, not a threat.
