Heartbreaking - AGAIN. Just another reminder that I take my life in my hands every day when I go to work. That little school is very similar to our little charter school, right down to the plaid skirts and khaki pants. There really are no words.
I observe these horrors that keep repeating, from the UK. To us the solution is so simplistic. The second amendment maybe a person's right to bear arms, but surely not if that person is deemed mentally unstable? In the UK we can possess guns but only with a firearms license. The person requesting one must be examined yearly by a GP and the police know who has licences. The gun must be kept in a locked gun cabinet at all times when not in use. This doesn't stop gun tragedies, but it reduces them considerably. Most gun crime in the UK are illegal weapons. Also the thought of people having assault rifles is complete and utter madness. They are not in a war zone, but those poor children are! I have heard arguments by the gun lobby that the answer is more assault weapons, not restriction. The trouble is, if you live by the sword, sadly you die by it. My deepest sympathies to the family, friends and surviving children who will be scarred for life, but also the sane people in America who see this groundhog day keep repeating itself and all that can be offered is hope and prayers. So sorry. You image, or lack of it is apt. xx
@marshwader@busylady Yes, it is hard to believe the shape this country is in right now...and the saddest thing is, I don't see it getting any better...
