Prayers and Thoughts for families

[riders2010]

To those parents and families victoms of the horrible shooting in the USA. Can't imagine what the parents are going through. Made me stop and think about family alot more today.

If you are pissed about something go do something to yourself, what the hell do you get out of hurting innocent others and then cowardly killing yourself.

This another shocking and sad event.

Equally sad is the USAs inability to deal with very high rates of gun violence.

One of the mistakes we often make after such a tragedy is assuming that people who commit such violence would be rational and have normal emotional responses. They do not. There is always something terribly wrong inside the minds of those who commit this level of violence.

The other issue is the American obsession with guns and the culture of violence that goes along with it. Very high rates of gun ownership including military assault rifles and the cultural inclination to resolve disputes with gun violence are part of the problem.

There are those within the gun culture in the US and Canada who mistakenly believe that an armed population will be safer. I guess they assume that the psychopaths would stop and rationally think, I may be shot by a citizen carrying arms in self defense, before they entered a school, theater or university and start shooting.

Easy access to guns and lax gun laws allowing those with violent and psychopathic personalities to access guns is a recipe for a big problem.

Letting citizens armed in self defense shoot first, if they feel threatened, then ask questions later is a serious breakdown in the rule of law.

Reread what I wrote meant to say go do something For yourself.

You are right there obviously is something wrong. But I also struggle with saying they are insane in each case because it takes so much planning and cunningness to complete these acts that there obviously is quite a thought process going on at some level.

I don't know if just me but we are living in an increasingly uncaring society. I see it in the farming sector and generally throughout our society. Maybe if we would consider successful people those that are good to others more than successful people being those that are rich it would help.

if every teacher had a gun in their desk, these psychos wouldnt get far.

hedge,

Suicide shooters do not stop just like the bombers in
9/11 and terrorist attacks globally.

Civilisation goes sideways in a hurry when there is no
fear of God and eternal accountability taught about;
after we die.

We are simply reaping what we have sown... laws
written on paper do NOT stop people from doing
terrible activities.

God bless and comfort the folks down south.

Look at the Bright Side, 27 less Liberals to vote 4 The Big ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HappyFarmer]

Climb back into the cave you were in BTO. The
world is a way better place without your brainless
comments.

[BTO_farmall]

As will it be with 27 LESS Liberals. Right to Bear Arms PLUS 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They should be made to register all
their guns. Then they could be held
accountable for them. Oh f-ck, we did
that in Comedia and it was a total
failure, waste of time and 3 - 4 billion
Comedian dollars, down the drain, no
wait, giant make work project for
Eastern Comedia, so it wasn't really a
waste, was it?
Amerika has gun ownership enshrined in
its constitution, and are the worlds
largest dealers in weapons of all kinds.
They built the culture, training the
young ones how ta use the weapons,
sending them to war, then flying them
home, angry and dangerous. God Bless
Amerika! You reap what you sow, from
the looks of it......... Terrible
tragedy, but freedom isn't free is it?

I think Tom, you are right. Some have forgotten
the ten commandments and the laws that God
passed down to us. I am guilty, too of putting
every other thing ahead of teaching my kids the
value of fearing the lord. What about, honour thy
father and thy mother!

Guess the world is full of fruitcakes, now we
have to arm ourselves against them. My little
grandkids want to live. Hope the govt allows
self-defense. I worry about copy-cat syndrome.
