I know it is an old adage, but it is true. What this country needs is more awareness about weapons and children learning that they have to take responsibility for their actions. This comes from parents. As parents, we all need to spend more time with our children teaching them morals and less time with extracurricular activities and work. Yes, Ms. Brown, if giving up my weapon would save just one child's life, I would do it in a minute.
More people die from car accidents every year that they do from guns.
In light of the various factors being blamed for the Colorado school shootings, I would like to present the following thoughts. In the 1950s, gun laws were much less stringent than now, but there were no mass shootings in the schools. This may happen in Wimberley, Texas, where five students were just arrested for a similar plot. Sawed-off shotguns have been illegal to make or possess for more than 60 years. Automatic rifles and pistols are illegal to own without special background investigations and licenses for each weapon.
