On gun control. As was stated already if 20 children being executed could not get basic common sense regulations (BG checks on all gun sales private and commercial, yearly registration, mag caps, safety training etc) nothing will ever get done. It is amazing how someone can advocate the right to own an item that can kill a person instantly while at the same time argue against regulations that enhance safety and responsibility of that ownership.
