We, as a county, cannot afford the wild west mentality, a mentality that never actually was, that guns are the answer to most everything.
The rest of the civilized world is wondering what in the hell is wrong with us.
The answer to gun violence is not more guns. We are already awash in gun of all kinds.
Teachers and janitors with guns in schools is not the answer to lunatics killing our children in those same schools.
Sane gun laws, such as Federal background checks, kept in a permanent nation wide data base.
Guns/weapons are designed to be deadly. We need to start treating them as such and inquiring into why people should think they need these weapons, even to the point of walking round in public with an AR15 on their back.
The very fact that a person thinks they need a gun should be a reason to suspect they should not have one.
