To me it would be, and I love my guns, but we got to start somewhere. There are a lot of other areas that need addressing also, mental illness and helping those in need would be another, Violence on TV and some of these video games our kids play everyday, another ....

Are you kidding? That was almost verbatim what is being gargled on mainstream news.

You are talking about banning weapons that will have no impact on crazy crimes. In reality, mass killings are at an all time low in the US and statically these school shootings DON'T happen.

Airplanes flew into the towers and everyone quit flying, or a plane crashes and everyone freaks out, but STATISTICALLY it doesn't even happen, so why does it warrant such drastic reactions mandating government intervention? TSA is a joke, and a massive drain on our tax dollars for absolutely no gain.

The media has played your emotions and your conscience like a flute.

Lets get this clear, what happened to those children is absolutely devastating, gut wrenching and sickening to me as a parent. But, I keep it in perspective and don't let a tragedy that is being glamorized by the media shape my decisions. It has to be kept in perspective.

Further, before TV and Video Games the world was just as messed up, if not more. Stop reaching for something to blame and think a little deeper. People blame those things because it is easy. Romans were sick people, I'm guessing video games were the cause? Medieval times were sick, musta been TV... I guess all the freedom the children in the Middle East have to play MA video games is what we should blame for their behavior?
