60. We still have the right to bear arms in this country

But believing in control is where we can effect change in how guns are used.

However, the idea of what control is, has a wide range of what is deemed suitable for some and not deemed the same for others.

For the record. I believe in the right to bear arms. I have never has a gun and nor do I foresee ever owning a gun. But I do want there to be strict controls on what kinds of guns, who can get guns and full responsibility if your gun is used. I want there to be dire consequences when a gun is used for other than hunting or sport. Even I cringe at the word sport, but there are people who go to gun ranges for fun and learn to use a fire arm.

Do I think children should be able to shoot their instructor in the head. No.

Do I think Sandhook was was a terrible tragedy? Yes.

A mentally unstable person had very easy access to guns. With that statement it can be applied to the parent of the child and to the shooter of Sandy Hook.

This nuance of my stand might be to subtle for such a site to ponder, however.
