Well as you may know guns are not allowed here. Knives are a problem at times.

I suppose gun culture has always featured in films, take care read you tomorrow.

Karen mentioned hearing his plea too - she had tears in her eyes when she told me. I'm have the feeling that the pro group will not change their minds, no matter what is said or what happens.

Nothing about mass shootings of the innocents makes any sense to me but if this could be a start it could save a few lives and start to change the way people think. I also believe that Gun safes in the home that only one person knows the secret to open the safe would help.

Re: TAPS

I think your common sense approach is absolutely correct. Unfortunately common sense is the exception rather than the rule in D.C.

This has been such a horrible thing that I cannot imagine why people have to plead.  I would think that anyone would be in agreement with anything that might help to make it not happen again.

Re: Ciel

I completely agree with this comment. But that's not gonna happen, so if we can get the powers that be to raise the age limit, it couldn't hurt. Medical research has shown the brain does not get completely mature until about 25, and at 18 people don't have the ability to foresee consequences or avoid risk; that judgment comes with maturity.

I don't think age makes a difference so much as types of guns. Assault weapons absolutely should not be in the possession of anyone not aiming to kill people. There is no age or rationale to justify sales of these guns to private citizens.

Good Morning

Pat, this was such a tragedy.  I've yet to be able to understand how someone so young could have so much hatred in them that they would want to hurt others.  I have no idea why we need assault rifles to start with.  Let's hope there is a change.

Good morning

This is such a heartwrenching way for people to get the ball rolling where are and gun safety is a real consideration. It's way past time. I hope that both sides to the humane thing.
