School Shooting and Gun Control

So, it’s not guns that kill people? It strikes me it was a gun that killed the Fairfax school student, not a criminal.

I think the National Rifle Assn. is the criminal in this sorry mess--for continuing to encourage an increasing number of guns. Guns have no place in a civilized society.

I pray that the number of people killed by guns will escalate in the next couple of years. Maybe then the public and politicians will do something serious and ban guns. Perhaps civilized countries like Britain, France, Germany and Japan will get the United Nations to send a peacekeeping force into this country to disarm the people.
