The guns used in this murder were legally purchased. That said, these guns (and ALL guns) should be LOCKED and completely SECURED in any home, especially a home where there are children. I fully believe in the right to bear arms. I also FIRMLY believe in a LONGER waiting period and a more st
ringent requirement to buy them, ONE AT A TIME. I do NOT believe that ANYONE but the military should be permitted to purchase ANY assault weapon. FOR ANY REASON. I think the NRA for the most part, are a bunch of old crazy bastards. And don't tell me crazy shit about collecting them, either.
I own several guns LEGALLY and I know how to use them. I have a concealed carry permit. I would NOT hesitate to use deadly force against someone who breaks into my home intending to do harm to me or mine. I do not believe that any more gun control laws will help. We MUST enforce the ones on the books. When you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them. PROSECUTE the violators and throw their evil sorry asses in JAIL. Mandatory sentences, maximum security, NO early release or parole. Yes, cruel and unusual punishment arguments be damned. No gun control laws will STOP EVIL. There will ALWAYS be evil in the hearts of some, and no weapon or lack thereof will quell that. One strong weapon against evil is PRAYER. I believe it should be in homes and in schools. I believe in PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, and in doing time for crime.
AND I believe that sitting your kid in front of a tv with a violent, bloody murderous video game or movie WILL desensitize them toward REAL violence. They need to be nurtured and TAUGHT the difference. How you explain to your kid what happened today is UP TO YOU to do it how you see fit, without lying to him or making him scared to death to go outside. For God's sake try not to project YOUR fears onto him. If you believe in God, PRAY. HE is with you always whether you think you need Him or not. If you don't pray, maybe you should think about starting. It can't hurt.
I'm not a biological parent but that doesn't make me stupid, cold, or unfeeling. Don't tell me I don't understand. I spent 37 years of my life in law enforcement. If I have offended anyone by my HONEST opinion, tough shit. If you think I'm a right wing nut, I'm not. Feel free to unfriend me, block me, or whatever you want. I will not entertain any discussion after this post. Don't try to bait me into argument. It won't work, and nobody will change my mind. That's all. Goodnight and God bless us all. WE NEED IT.
