I live in todays world. I do not dwell on the past or afraid that history will repeat itself. We own guns. We only use them for recreation shooting practice. We keep them in the home for our own protection. No need to carry them on a day to day basis. Our kids grew up learning safety and practice shooting from a very young age. They all own guns but like us they dont carry them. They have no fear or are not paranoid. No one needs assault weapons other than the military. People can protect themselves and hunt and protect their family with regular handguns/shotguns in their homes. If an intruder was in my home the odds are I would not be alert and ready to shoot them anyway, life is not like that...rare indeed is the person who is ready all the time for those situations." Gun control is not only about the laws concerning firearms....gun control is also about actually controlling the guns you have".....which is what many a supposed "responsible" gun owner does not do. The story below is happening all over the country....why were these guns accessible to this child???? Who are the "responsible" gun owners??? Maybe a 50 year prison sentence would speak volumes?? Unfortunatly here in this country, citizens are OK with burying their innocent children and loved ones killed by crazy people and "responsible" gun owners. Thought and Prayers do nothing. MAKE NO CHANGES AND YOU KEEP GETTING THE SAME RESULTS!! http://www.wbir.com/story/news/2015/10/04/fatal-shooting/73329258/
