Okay, maybe that previous post was over the top. It was written in a fit of anger, obviously.
But my main point is and has always been that you can no longer just blame the shooter in this day and age, because these events happen with alarming frequency. Obviously someone or something made them this way, and more often than not, as soon as the phrase "gun control" is uttered, the point gets lost by those who scream the loudest. It's no longer about keeping the guns from these shooters, it becomes focused on "how does this affect my owning guns?"
And again, I answer: It's NOT always about you.
It's about ALL of us. WE are responsible for US in this country.
United we stand, divided we fall.
