Gun laws.
We do not need new gun laws in the United States. We need enforcement of the ones we have. Adam Lanz, the shooter in Sandy Hook Elementary School. His mother introduced him to guns and encouraged him in collecting and learning to shoot them. Now as I understand it, everyone in Newtown knew that Adam Lanz had mental problems. My question: Why was she allowed to purchase the guns with a mentally disturbed person in the house? Why was she allowed to take him to the gun range and teach him to shoot? Unless I am mistaken, you have to certify that there is no one living on your premises who have mental problems. So she lied. The ones selling the guns knew she was lying. Blame? Hell yeah! Adam Lanz's mother is totally responsible for what he did. along with those who sold the guns as well as law enforcement. Why can't we get the gun laws we have enforced? Why are we always screaming for new laws for gun ownership? The theater shooter in Colorado had told his psychiatrist that he had these homicidal plans. She notified the authorities. No one did anything. Nothing, Nada. The shooters in Columbine High School stockpiled their guns and other stuff in one of the garages. The parents knew nothing about this. Really? I don't know about anyone else, but when my kids were home, if they had been spending time in the garage, I would have know why. Again, lack of parenting. This along with allowed bullying by the school officials at Columbine. We just had an attack on a college campus near Houston. The 20 year old used a box cutter. Shall we now outlaw boxcutters? Bottom line is that parents are not parenting anymore. These people have not ever faced consequences for any of their actions. Also, the news media are allowed to make it gruesome entertainment for the world at large. Notice that the DA in Houston did not give out many details about the shooting on North Harris County College Campus? Are you seeing any details of the investigation of the killing of the DA in Forney, Texas? No. And you won't. Before you come after my guns, let me see you holding the parents accountable. Let me see you stopping the news media from making these killings entertainment. To see the gruesome aftermath of these killings are not entertainment and only encourage other idiots to do the same. And we have a lot more people now. Notice that most of these killers come from affluent families? Wonder why. I didn't obey the law because I had respect for the law. I obeyed the law because I knew the consequences if I didn't. I was more afraid of letting my father down than I ever was of a judge. My father commanded respect and he started with us as babies. We were taught that there are not to pleasant payments for the bad deed. Sometimes a belt, sometimes picking up rocks in the hot sun all day. He could get creative. Point is, we would pay for our actions.
