Guns:
It is easy to be agun owner. A gun is bad. While it can be used for defense but the confidence a gun gives to its owner during mild confrontations gets it to the next level. For example, when you have a gun and you see someone breaking in your car or home, you rush out with a gun and probably shoot him down. If you are without a gun, you are likely to call the police or get some cover somewhere.
Bullying:
Folks, please do away with all forms of bulling and be nice to those you interact with. Most of these cases have some connections with isolation and bullying. Please talk to your kids and make sure no one is bullying them and that they are not bullying anyone as well.
What next?
Legal gun owners are likely to keep hanging on to theirs where teenegers can have access to them. It would mean situations like these will still prevail. Others who obtain guns legally can sell it in the street and claimed that they lost it.
Humor:
I think creating some humor and healing centers for those of these kids that are mentally challenged will help out too. Most of our kids are exposed to bad videos, gun movies, etc....That is clearly a problem. Recently, a friend told me that some are interested in doing some record fame. To me, that is sickness at its height.
US Congress:
The US president and Congress must come up with solutions.The debate on guns continues. It would have been another tragedy no doubt on this one above.
Best regards,
Yero

Toubab,
Good point on that right to own gun.
Well,from CNN analysis, some of the guns in the street are military type....and that is scary especially if they fall in the wrong hands.
Personally, I would like to add hunting to my hobby. Then is the only time I will need a gun.
Thanks for sharing,
Yero |

I like Joe Biden. I think he is overly cool.

Subject: President Obama is counting on you
To: >
XXXX --
The President did something big last week.
He proposed a set of major reforms to help protect our children and our communities by curbing gun violence, and he's already announced 23 executive actions that will go a long way in helping keep our kids safe.
This is an important start -- but I have no illusions about what needs to be done and how difficult it will be.
Every step we intend to take will preserve the tradition of responsible gun ownership in our country and uphold the Second Amendment. And while we'll never end gun violence entirely, if we can save the life of even one child, then we have a responsibility to act.
This action includes not only what we can do, but what Congress can do. To make a real and lasting difference, they must act soon.
The President has called on Congress to act on four specific legislative measures: closing background check loopholes, banning military-style assault weapons and limiting high-capacity ammunition magazines, making our schools safer, and increasing access to mental health services.
Read more about the President's plan to reduce gun violence, and make sure you forward this to friends and family.
The President asked me to work with law enforcement, teachers, parents, sportsmen, Democrats, Republicans, faith leaders, mental health experts, and other organizations and individuals to come up with a set of concrete policy proposals. The plan he put forth is the product of those conversations and recommendations.
Right now, President Obama is counting on you.
Each one of us needs to speak up and demand action. It doesn't matter whether you live in a big city or a small town like Newtown, Connecticut. When our fellow Americans are victims of senseless violence, we all pull together as one American family.
Let's get this done, folks.
Whether the action we take saves one life or 1,000, it matters.
Thank you,
Joe
