GUN FREE UTOPIA?




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.
