My heart goes out to the teachers, parents, and kids in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Conn.

Same here, Iowan. There was also an incident in China where a man injured a bunch of children with a knife. It is unimaginable to me to have such a calloused indifference to life, and attack children.My heart goes out to the teathers, parenets, and kids in Sandy Hook Elementry School in Newtown Conn.
When I was in high school in the 70s, many kids would bring their shotguns in and store them in their lockers during classes. On their way home they would road hunt for pheasants. Nobody was alarmed seeing kids walking down the hallway with a gun and nobody was shot in the school building so apparently it isn't the guns causing the problems. We have spent decades removing morality and religious doctrine in the public schools. Maybe a little more fear of God and attention to the 10 Commandments could actually be beneficial.
Perhaps you could show me where removing it has helped anything. Assault weapons are no more dangerous then any deer rifle and in most cases less dangerous since they have nowhere near the accuracy. I own many "assault weapons" and none of them has killed anyone. It isn't the gun...it is the mentally disturbed person with the gun that has been protected by our courts and allowed to roam in our society.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations
A Nation in perpetual War i.e. 'Military Industrial Complex' and a Media that glorifies violence as well as easy access to assault weapons, throw in a few spin zone hate radio stations and you have a melting pot for creating "ultraviolent" youth . Don't expect "a little more fear of God " to fix that my friend.

Now you know we can't blame the mentally disturbed person. It might hurt somebodies little feelers. Oh, I know!!! Lets blame the assault weapons, lets blame high cap magazines, blame little debbies, blame cheese burgers. Lets blame everything but the person who did the crime. That's what is wrong now, the blame doesn't get put where it truely needs to be. The news media doesn't get rating talking about mentally disturbed person. They sure love to start fires about guns so they can blow smoke up stupid peoples asses.Perhaps you could show me where removing it has helped anything.

Hold on guys and look at the bigger picture. Guns should not even be the debate here or accross the nation.Now you know we can't blame the mentally disturbed person.

I thought this was a serious discussion !!We need to take guns out of the discussion and get to the root cause of all of these tragedies which is prescribed drugs.

Your welcome, people want answers so I research info to get folks aimed in the right direction.Excellent post ! Thankyou for that background information
You had me there for a minute until I read up on this fruit cake ! ... It's no wonder people can't find solutions to problems..... they would rather follow the rants of a lunatic, rather then think critically for them selves.Your welcome, people want answers so I research info to get folks aimed in the right direction.
I can assault people with a knife, a frying pan, a baseball bat, a box truck with diesel fuel and fertilizer. Further more I can assault people with a bow and arrow or picking up a brick and hitting them in the head with it. Lets just ban everything there is to ban that could possibly kill somebody. Hell if your Maguyver you can do it with a rubber band and a paper clip....BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS!
