If you love your guns more than your children, something is wrong

[Mimosa]

111. Not everybody can afford to move

That's easy to say if you have means.

And when people who had means moved to 'safer' areas they've been accused of deserting inner cities for sinister reasons.

DainBramaged, the premise of your OP is actually irrelevant to today's tragedy. An extremely disturbed individual did something calculated, vicious and insane. If he hadn't access to a few guns he might have strapped on a bomb as terrorists in other countries have done.

I grew up in the 1950s-1960s South. Almost everybody I've ever known, black or white, had learned to shoot at an early age. We learned weapons safety. And nobody, but nobody, I've ever known in my several decades, ever spent money they couldn't afford on weapons or ammo. Nobody I've ever known or heard of in the South ever neglected their family because they prized weapons more than children. *rolling eyes* However, I have known people who neglected their children because of substance abuse, a whole 'nother topic.
