Coming to ones sense on what? Gun prohibition? That's what the Left is all about. Their definition of "Common Sense Gun Laws" quickly evolves into what they have in Great Britain. The few guns the law allows the Brits to have are largely confined to "gun clubs". The idea that you can protect yourself with a fire arm in GB is ludicrous. So is the notion that a new gun law instantly and forever stops these tragedy.

You think this wacko would have given up if he didn't have a gun? What if showed up with a couple of crossbows and 10 gallons of gas, set the school on fire and shot kids escaping the flames? You gonna ban cross bows and gasoline? What if he just waited for school to be out and drove through the bus line in his car at a high rate of speed? He could clean out a row of 50+ kids depending on the configuration of the school drive and parking lot. We haven't even discussed bomb making that you can find on the internet.

No, no, it must be the guns.

Funny how we didn't have any of this until Columbine. Since we have copy cats. Oh, you want to talk about the lone gunman in the tower at UT back in the '60s? Fine, nothing happened after that for 30 years. The seed has been planted that a school is a soft target and place to get your anger vented at society. "Go to school, and kill people".

No. no, it must be the guns.

It has nothing to do with society and deca of the nuclear family, lost discipline, lack of father figures, no absolute right or wrong, the questioning of authority and the fact that every snowflake is told they are "special" from birth.

No, no, it must be the guns.


You left out those evil 5 gallon propane tanks. Some twisted POS loaded the trunk and back seat of his car with a bunch of full propane tanks and waited for the kids to leave the front of a high school where my wife once taught in an attempt to blow up the front of the school and the kids as they left the building. Luckily for all, it didn't go off .... otherwise I am sure that propane tanks would now be banned .... or only sold / refilled to adults 21 years or older!
