[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 1068047"] Although I'm a little surprised no gun ban talk has surfaced, this is a very small(very small sliver) sampling of society......we did have a left-field talk radio reference. OK. Total disclosure: I own guns....lots. A little perspective: Just for easy numbers.....we have 300 million people in the US.....a few thousand murders/ felonies, serious crimes and a couple(literally) insane mass murderers. These mass murderers use fertilizer, airplanes and yes guns to commit these unspeakable tragedies. They know no bounds of sanity. Know no limits of their victims- innocent, defenseless. They are out there. What to do? We could ban guns......and deprive innocent, law abiding citizens their rights to the tune of hundreds of millions. So that only the police and these criminals are armed. Do we ban airplanes and fertilizer? How about box cutters? My wife works in the library at the middle school(public). You can walk in Monday morning and have complete access to the entire school....unchallenged. I would bet this is so in CT. While I don't want our schools to resemble prisons, where was the security? Would it have prevented the tragedy? It would at least slowed him down or so. It is truly unknown.

I do expect the liberal-left to grab all they can towards gun control. Hopefully a Republican controlled House will tamp this down. That's it for the politics. My heart goes out to the children and parents of all the victims of this insane tragedy. [/QUOTE]
