I don't want to live in a Combat Zone. [View all]

I don't want children fenced off behind a fortress. Is this the future you want for your children? Arming ourselves to the teeth isnt going to solve anything.

And let's take Hunting off the list. 21st century we have grocery stores. The reason we are arming ourselves is fear, that the other are arming themselves. It's a mini COLD war. And like the one that just ended, the feeling of being safe was unattainable. You will never feel safe.

Ask yourself this question, If guns make you feel safe, why did the Newtown woman need five of them?

I can understand a weapon for home protection, but not the magnitude and fire power that is offered today, it's insanity.
