Again we are hearing a drumbeat to ban guns of one form or another. Come, let us reason together. Switzerland issues every household a rifle! Every Swiss citizen is considered responsible for defense of the nation. Their Government Trains every adult they issue a rifle. Switzerland has the LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD !!! CLEARLY GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. Instead we should be talking about why so many of our young people are willing to kill innocent men, women, and children. WE have a MENTAL ILLNESS AND MORALITY PROBLEM in this nation. THAT is an issue that we should ALL AGREE to do something about. And the fact that in the last 20 years, 16 violent incidents inside of schools involving guns or bladed weapons, were committed by individuals who were taking antidepressants at the time; should make us look at how these people are supervised. I'm sure you have noticed TV commercials that list one of the "side effects" of many of these antidepressant drugs as suicide. Maybe they should add "murder" to the list.
Let us pray for the families who have lost their greatest blessings, their children and loved ones, let us grieve as a nation for the senseless loss, then let's get to work on the REAL problem we face.
Thanks for your time and may God bless and protect each and everyone of you and your families.
