Murder in Newtown

My heart goes out to all the parents who lost children.  I cannot imagine the stark horror and pain of losing a child and I hope I never experience that pain.  I am now hearing everyone screaming gun control.  Guns are a symptom, not the problem.  We can eliminate all the guns and if someone wants to kill, they will find a way.  Need we be reminded of Oklahoma City.  There were no guns involved.  And does anyone but me notice that these cowards always pick places where they will meet little or no resistance?  Ever see anyone try hitting a police station and trying mass killings?  Of course not.  It is all about control.  They control the lives of others and they control when they die or in the case of the shooter in Aurora, Colorado, he gave up.  I just read a report that there were at least 4 theaters showing this same movie and two closer to where he lived, but he picked this one because it had a sign out front "Gun free zone."  No resistance.  No one to stop him.  And I will again say how would you have stopped this shooter if he had used gasoline and home made bombs instead?  We have to be on the offensive instead of the defensive in protecting our children.  We have to anticipate.  I know that most all you will not agree with me, but just suppose that principal had been armed and trained in how to react in a situation like this?  It might have made all the difference in the world.  Yep.  I'm from Texas and I do advocate training and arming school personnel.  I saw one post asking how would one feel having a killer teaching your child?  If that teacher had killed to protect my child, I would be groveling at his or her feet.
