This Gun-Nut has had enough.

112. I agree with you, HockeyMom, and

my heart goes out to you for having had to experience the horror of lockdowns.

I teach at the college level, but volunteer at an "underprivileged" grade school because I enjoy being among the little ones, so yesterday really hit home for me.

At the university, we are aware of the students who seem troubled and could potentially be time bombs. Problem is, while the school can be hyper-vigilant and have procedures in place, the perpetrator often has elaborate planning, too, coupled with the element of surprise and a cache of weapons. And though university security and other law enforcement may be notified of a suspicious student, nothing can be done until the student does something.

A very sad time in a nation that embraces, -- hell, glorifies -- guns.

I hear ya and I'm with ya
