Really? When was the last time a lone gunman of some sort walked into a group of politicians and calmly gunned down a dozen or so of them? It doesn't happen, and it doesn't happen because there are always people around to guard our "precious" politicians.
If someone cared about protecting the kids half the teachers and all the administrators would have been both armed and trained in how best to defend the children in their care. Instead, they're unarmed and trained to lead the survivors out to the parking lot and hope the police show up before the gunman reloads and heads their way.
Actions speak louder than words and the actions say, "it's just some kids". We slaughter children by the millions with both abortion and contraceptives so what's the big deal?
At least, that's the way I see it. YMMV
The bottom line is that if someone gets it in their head that they are going to kill you, you’re as good as dead. The demented mind finds a way to make it happen. I could use a gun, bomb, fire, toxin, knife, drown, asphyxiate, or plain old misadventure.
Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but if I got it in my head that I was going to kill you....you would die. You can say to me “bring it punk”, and that’s fine, but like I said...it doesn’t have to be today, tomorrow, next week, or next month. But on the other hand you’re assuming a frontal assault and the method of your demise would be my choice.
You get the point. Gun control is not the answer here. Neither is more security or any other of the myriad of things that will be floated to try to prevent this from happening again.
Evil is just evil, and evil must be addressed at the source.
Amen brother..!!
