Craigclev,
You love to hunt and think the second amendment is all about the "sporting life". Buddy, you're part of the problem. I don't hunt, and likely never will, because I don't like killing things. So I don't hunt but I understand the second amendment very well. Someone needs to invent a true "way back" machine so you can go back in time to our Founding and learn the truth about the second amendment.
And who is suggesting to arm first graders anyway? - wtf? -
You and many others are very arrogantly ignoring the human factor as THE ONLY CAUSE of gun carnage. It's a poor carpenter who blames his tools. And it's a corrupt or weak-minded person who blames guns for this violence.
Liberals are the ones with the blood on their hands. They are the ones who support our wrong-headed approach to mental illness in this country. Relying on a mentally ill person to take their meds without fail is like relying on a hyperactive child with a full bladder to hold his finger in the dike to prevent the town from flooding. These various psychotropic medications don't cure mental illness; they just mask the symptoms, and only if they are taken correctly and regularly. And it's against the law to force a psychotic to take his meds. The problem is that we main-stream our kooks and ignore their behavior. We ignore the obvious warning signs of these people when they're children. The Connecticut killer demonstrated warning signs for years. His mother covered for him; he reached 20 years old, and ... ... About four generations ago, back before Liberals and shrinks thought they could cure mental illness, an in-law relative of mine, with warning signs as he grew up, finally came after his sister with a knife. He was wrestled to the ground, taken away by the guys in the white coats, and never heard from again. This probably saved lives.
Liberals also have blood on their hands because they promote leniency for violent criminals. Our judicial system is a joke. How many times do we hear about violent crimes reported on the news, only to learn that the offender(s) have a long rap sheet, yet they're back out on the streets like wolves in the hen house? Roughly three decades ago, I heard an FBI statistic that said something to the effect that around 85% of new crimes are committed by repeat offenders. So what affect could we have on crime if we just threw those first-timers in the slammer for good?
