First Funerals Held for US School Rampage Victims

Are US communities still so insecure after centuries of independence that residents should have guns of their own? If the US prides itself as a fist world country in civility, maturity, morality, science and technology, medicine, justice and legal systems, freedom, human psychology; rationality, commonsense, sensibility, and gentleness, freedom of non-violent expression should be the way of life of her communities. The US is known as a country that sends out the biggest number of Gospel missionaries and workers overseas to preach Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, and the love commandments to God and fellow humans, including enemies, but why are they killing one another, including the weak and innocent so brutally? Why are all these contradictions?

I am most convinced that if Americans care for one another or at least respect one another, or united as a country, common citizens and residents do not have to have guns at all for defensive and offensive purposes. Only those who are qualified and authorized for the work of order and peace in the community may have guns suitable to their tasks. The US will be become more attractive to investors and overseas students, and the people will enjoy better sense of security if possession of a rifle is banned from common people. Why must common Americans possess guns for killing humans, who they believe are created equal by God (in his image). Freedom of gun possession is not true freedom; it is a symptom of enslavement to violence, hatred, and evil. God is free, but the devil wants to be absolutely free. True freedom is freedom to the service of God and his will, and not to the service of the evil one and evils.

A terrible tragedy, that grives as all to the core; and a disaster for those that live with hope for a better world and a loving G_d.
Guns are tools; security forces need them, it saves their lives. As with any tools people need to be trained, maintain them, be insured... And with dangerous tools, have a secure place to store them, and the users must be absolutely fit to use/have them. You would certainly not allow people to have nuclear weapons at home, just because the constitution says "you can bear arms.." Nor should they bear arsenals/arms depots in their homes..

I can't see how one can justify having military, high rate of fire/high magazine capacity type of weapons, for private use? or multiple weapons; If you are that paranoid, you clearly may not be mentally fit to have weapons in any case. Children and weapons do not mix, other than tragically. Unfortunately, the misuse of weapons, no matter how regulated, occurs. Such incidents, like in Norway, a highly regulated weapon's country, failed to prevent the massacre. Regulation of dangerous tools is complex; probably best handled by State jurisdictions, through a referendum of the people as to what is permissible/etc...

Hello right-wing gun nuts, Adam and his mother were like YOU:
The mother of Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza who slaughtered 20 US schoolchildren and seven adults was a gun-hoarding survivalist who was stockpiling weapons in preparation for an economic collapse, it has emerged. Nancy Lanza was shot four times in the head before her son Adam gunned down young pupils and teachers at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Her sister-in-law Marsha Lanza told reporters at her Illinois home that her gun-obsessed relative was part of the ‘prepper’ movement that fears an economic collapse will lead to a breakdown in society.

“She prepared for the worst,” Ms Lanza said.
“Last time we visited her in person, we talked about prepping — are you ready for what could happen down the line, when the economy collapses?”

Nancy Lanza (52) had five registered firearms, had begun stockpiling food and taught Adam how to shoot. He is believed to have taken three of her guns — a Bushmaster .223-calibre, and two handguns, a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9mm — in the school massacre after he shot her dead in bed.

All you need for a burglar coming in your house is an accurate revolver in a drawer. By the time you get to that assault rifle it's too late. Revolvers tamed the West. If they were good enough for Wyatt Earp they're good enough for me. What, you're too lazy to pull a trigger, you need a gas-assist?

And if you need a thirty round clip to down a deer, you need glasses more.

I'm just talking compromise and common sense, but all the gun-babies are going to cry "Wahhh, 'Bamy gonna come take my Rambo Rifle!"
