On topic:  Any time a mother has to bury a child, it's sad.

 

I recognize that the 2nd amendment was judged by the Supreme Court to mean you have a right to own a gun, no matter what our founding fathers really meant by it.  Hell, I can even live with it, and I used to embrace it a little more fully.  I just don't think it makes our lives any better, it does not and will not decrease crime, and quite frankly, empowers 2 very annoying segments of our society: gun nuts, and gun control nuts.

 

Yes, I realize that guns don't kill people, people kill people.  But when they do, their weapon of choice is usually a gun.

 

And when they choose to kill little kids on a rampage, like they do in every society, by the way, they can kill a lot more of them when they have a gun.

 

The Swiss are armed to the teeth, and live okay.  The Dutch aren't, and they live okay.  It ain't the gunowners keeping the peace.
