And yes Chris, many of us here in Newtown quietly go about our daily business armed.
Indeed tell them the Teacher, Principal, and many of the students in fact died for lack of a gun to defend them not because of one.
Tell them that a Gun is nothing more than a tool, incapable of good or Evil on its own, and that all they have done is disarm the good of the one tool that would have enabled them to defend themselves again such evil, halting the progress of this evil.
Tell them it is useless to be angry at the wind for blowing! That if they wish to be angry, they should instead be angry at house incapable of resisting that wind. Evil on any scale has never be preventable, only manageable and stoppable as the unarmed teachers and Principal attempted to do in vain at the cost of their lives.
Had they had tools they might have stood a chance at saving not only their students lives but their own, instead they were found ill-prepared for the wind thou no fought of their own I might add. The fought is ours, for it was us who disarmed them, it was us who prohibited them from caring any kind of tool that might be used to protect them from this kind of threat.
