Conneticut and gun laws

TOday I would like to send my prayers out to the families of those who were murdered in the Connetict shooting. It is unbearably sad, awfully horrific and maddeningly angering that thsee lives were taken so violently, well, well before their time. I am truly sorry for their loss - that America is feeling, that the world is feeling.

It angers me that this is the third mass gun murder this year in the US. It is incredible that this is happening so often. People don't know why. I think that they must look at their gun laws. This need to have the right to bear arms goes bac to when the British ruled the US and is not longer a viable reason for keeping this law open.

Personally, I don't mind farmers and hunters having rifles and shotguns for hunting/protecting against predators but hand guns and anyone not using a gun in daily life should not be allowed to carry one. This horrific event will by continually perpetrated until these gun laws are changed. it appears to be far too easy for any crazy person, criminal and person with a grudge to simply but a gun and use it.

I think the other issue is the fact that the press give notoriety to the gumnen in these cases, so many people think I know how to become famous, I'll kill a bunch of people! It's horrible to think this way but it does seem to be a motive for several mass killers.

My heart goes outto all those Americans hurting right now. I hope that your leaders see that instead of giving platitudes when kids are killed, it would be btter to try to prevent these incidents from haapening in the first place.

Peace.
