My heart goes out to the families of loved ones lost in Connecticut today. Poor kindergarteners
My oldest is in kindergarten.
guns - i don't own one but don't believe they should be banned. How many people did Ted Bundy kill? How many did he kill with a gun?
I agree with Scott and others - lets try to understand WHY those who want to kill think that way, and start there. Taking away peoples freedoms isn't the answer. Fix the problem, not the symptom.
god - I don't buy the argument that taking god out of school has anything to do with an increase in violence. How many wars were started because of "religion"? Probably a good portion.
violent video games - not the problem
baseball cards - not the problem
I do believe loving family helps. But even then there are cases of people's heads just not ticking right. Need to better understand WHY and see if there is a way to help them before something like this happens. Very tragic, I feel for the surviving parents and siblings who will be looking for answers. WHY?
I'd give my life to bring back those kids, thats for sure.
edited to add: p.s. can we drop the assault weapon discussion? it has NOTHING to do with what happened today. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Today would've happened with or without a ban on assault weapons
