I do have a concealed carry license and believe that more honest law abiding citizens should carry.Spammonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251667425537434312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448117.post-57531565039496966412008-02-11T14:42:00.000-06:002008-02-11T14:42:00.000-06:00It is close to home.

I still feel depressed every single time I hear about one.<BR/><BR/>My younger brother was watching the news here in Atlanta a number of years ago. The top story was "there were no murders in Atlanta today". How awful is that?<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about gun control. The criminals will get their hands on guns using whatever means necessary.Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448117.post-67408031421063660982008-02-10T20:35:00.000-06:002008-02-10T20:35:00.000-06:00Great post Tanya.

I agree with you 100% I would not be surprised if you end up taking some heat over this.<BR/><BR/>I am always amazed at the people who think banning guns will make society better. Guns were invented 400 years ago. We have 4,000 years of recorded human history and it is full of murder, war and violent death. There seems to be a flaw in the logic that guns are the problem.NerdyRedneck Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197976874612713015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448117.post-74315140645190264942008-02-10T01:43:00.000-06:002008-02-10T01:43:00.000-06:00Great post.

It really does render a person helpless when they are staring down the barrel of a gun.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think the media should do their part and quit sensationalizing such crimes, as this lends to even more 'copycat' crimes being committed, as we've seen with recent school shooters who have referenced other school shooters (namely the Columbine shooters) on their websites as being their personal 'heroes'. Very tragic indeed.<BR/><BR/>After the recent tragic deaths of the teens in our community, I'm convinced that such evils are a direct result of the problem of sin in our fallen world. Bad things happen when people sin, and like ripples in a pond, it spreads out affecting others. Truly, Jesus is the only answer, and it's why we need to spend our time pointing others to Him.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362618797920704090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448117.post-54047818108566509482008-02-09T13:12:00.000-06:002008-02-09T13:12:00.000-06:00All these shootings are just so sad.

It's getting to be an every week (at least) occurrence.<BR/><BR/>I don't know where the answer lies, but I do agree that stricter gun laws will only prevent the responsible people from getting them. The people who really want them are going to figure out how to get them and, obviously, won't be law abiding citizens.Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639970448069931471noreply@blogger.com
