(1,989 posts)Have you lost your friggin mind? Let's let them lose a child??? That's your bright idea for talking to people. I bet that's what the crazy killer of children thought in Newtown. I'll show them. Your comment makes me want to throw up. I don't want anyone to ever as long as they live have to suffer the death of a child for any purpose. I find the person that does a sick and twisted individual. And, then after suggesting, that YOU would suggest they seek professional help.
We are conflating totally different things. The constitution gives a right to bear arms. If after the loss of a loved one, they were to still come back and say, we have the right to bear arms. They wouldn't be crazy. They would be stating the obvious.
I do not believe people need to own guns apart from hunting and self defense. I think more than one is too many. I think they give people a false sense of security and would love to see a gun free society...criminals included. But, the founding fathers neglected to add a caveat that said...if onpatrol approves.
So, I try to think gun safety, laws that really will save our children instead of political theater. But no matter the issue, no matter the point, I don't want a parent to have to bury a child. That was supposed to be the damn point in the first place.
