Susan Collins also commented that "this just doesn't happen here" (I paraphrased). Riiiggghhhttt. It's you who are right, Vanessa. It can, it has, it will happen anywhere in this country--because it's the guns. The shooter can be sane; the shooter can be freakin' nuts. But it's the damn gun that wreaks the havoc. What is so hard to understand?! We make school children do active shooter drills; some businesses do the same. What is wrong with this picture? What other country subjects its people to this idiocy? If we are to return to sanity in this country, if we are to start the process of feeling--and being--safe again, we must get rid of the guns.
Evelyn thank you. So well said. Even as I write here the TV news is going on and on again about the nuances of these weak laws that only work if people figure out someone is mentally unstable or planning to do a shooting... but which don't cut down on the overall widespread easy ACCESS and AVAILABILITY of guns. You are right on. - Vanessa
