I agree Stan. I don’t like the idea of it at all. There are many solutions to the problem, the first of which I think should be to make schools a hard target. As is schools by and large are a soft target.
Secondly would be reestablishing the degree of mental care in the U.S. needed to help mitigate these occurrences. Too many mental institutions have closed down in the last twenty to thirty years. In my hometown of about 1800 people, there is a guy who shot and killed a friend of my family, plead insanity and now lives next door to my moms church! WTH!?
There will never be a way to completely eliminate these tragedies, but we as a society must come up with ways to minimize them. Banning a single gun or multiple guns or even all firearms won’t do it. Criminals will have guns regardless and someone that’s mentally deranged and set on wreaking havoc will succeed if the target(s) aren’t more protected.
I could go on and on but I’ve gotta get back to the shop. Lots to do over the weekend.
