Sorry but much as I don't want to see the kids get killed I'm now way past the point where I have any sympathy for a country whose rulers are prepared to allow this preventable carnage to continue year after year after year after year in the name of 'freedom' or whatever it is they claim makes gun ownership a must-have.
Thousands more children both currently living and yet to come will be sacrificed on this altar but they clearly don't give a damn.
Frankly I don't know why our media continue to give it air time over here, its a yearly event.
As I said, sorry for appearing uncaring but you can't help those who wont help themselves.

Are there any other first world countries where owning a great many, non hunting, guns is legal and in many cases seen as a positive thing? There is no point to handguns or sub machine guns, none at all apart from self defence in the hands of those who have been trained to use them and made accountable under the highest regulations, for using them.

Nobody is blaming the gun. Its the access to them that is to blame. Americans nutters also seem to have a predeliction for killing kids at school unlike nutters in any other country.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
