The "common" & immediate "argument" is that as the "bad guys" have them the "good guys" need them too -- for "protection". <br />What bothers me most about this latest tragedy (other than the obvious; I could not imagine losing my child!) is that, I fear, after some weeks of weeping, hair pulling & chest beating, the pro-gun lobby & its vehement supporters won't budge an inch in any of this. (I find it ironic that it's the National RIFLE Association when these murders have been done with attack weapons.) <br />PS After Obama was re-elected, gun sales went through the roof! A statistic I just saw: there are about 311 Americans & 300 million registered guns. It is insane.Pat (in Belgium)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02367089351412953926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-15581996384360767092012-12-16T02:03:50.263+00:002012-12-16T02:03:50.263+00:00I am so cross I could spit. When is someone going...I am so cross I could spit. When is someone going to wake up and put an end to this nonsense. Last year over 10,000 deaths by guns in the US. Everywhere else in the world, by country, under 100. This is NOT what the founding fathers meant by 'the right to bear arms".

It's inexplicable, also unconscionable, and almost unbearably sad.lillyannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752638206153634574noreply@blogger.com
