(118 posts)but I think all of the talk about gun control is missing the point entirely. This isn't about guns. Connecticut has some of the
strictest gun laws in the country. We will never eliminate the second amendment and b/c of that blaming this on gun is just a
smokescreen. I am no supporter of the nra and certainly no fan of guns in general. However, in tragedies like this we owe it to those
children to be honest with ourselves so that we can help fix this. The real problem is our culture and our lack of attention to mental
health issues. We live lives that are so consumed with the pursuit of meaningless things and we are spoiled to the point where for
some of us, when things go wrong, we want to take it out on others. The only way to really stop this with gun control is to completely
get rid of guns and that will never happen. We need to focus more on the individuals and not the weapons. It''s hard to accept but
it's the truth.
