    Connecticut School Shooting

    I know we have members across the US and realize that people out there may have other things on their minds, but I figure I'd ask-

    Everybody ok?

          Not a lot of things leave me at a loss for words and this is where I stand. I cannot imagine the disconnect that results in someone executing children.

            Its a sad day, and its sparking people to talk about how they need to revamp gun laws. I dont get why people think its the guns fault. Last I checked guns can't pull their own triggers, not trying to deflect from the children in todays tradgedy... But its getting out of hand people thoughts on gun control and de-arming America. Sad day.

              Israel had a problem with terrorists going in and attacking schools. They armed their teachers and it stopped real quickly. Here is how the typical school outing looks:

                  I think the US is going about this issue the wrong way with gun control. Why is it that you need a background check to purchase a firearm but a felon just released from prison on parole can go into any Walmart and buy ammunition? Why not just have a ammo id card? Without the card, you can't buy ammo. I'm sure after today, people wouldn't mind paying like $10 to $20 per year for it. Guns are useless without ammo.

                  It's not a perfect solution but its way better than the idea of taking guns away from responsible citizens.

                    Because the criminals will get the ammo the same way they get their guns. They go find some girl who is looking for a man to take care of her and get her to buy it for them. This is the most common way they get weapons outside of just stealing them. That and they typically steal ammo with the weapons.

                      Huxley taught Orwell (yeh, I'm not making this up) and his writings of a future world were critical of what a world of abundance would become given totalitarian rule. The desire for knowledge and enlightenment would be placated by the abundance of cheap entertainment, free sex, drugs, and a world in which the central government provided and controlled everything.

                        Lets start by saying I am not a conspiracy theorist type. I do remember reading predictions from those that do regarding something like this happening just after reelection.

                              They stopped going in and attacking churches when he shooter was stopped by an armed patron here in Colorado. Shooters like this are cowards. They don't want a fight they want defenseless victims
