Copied directly from the Bill of Rights:

A WELL REGULATED MILITIA [caps mine], being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Veronica, I'm not saying that we do or do not need additional gun control in this country. But as someone who cares about this nation's Bill of Rights, I am asking you to learn what it actually SAYS.

"The father of the murderer was stern, emotionally distant, the mother, she constantly defended the younger son
no matter what. (This caused their divorce, the father took with him the older son and left the damaged younger one.)

This taught him to disrespect authority. The older son was the favorite because he was not "damaged"
by Aspergers. The younger son came of age. His mother, weary from years of keeping him up told him to grow up
and get a life. He shot his mother in the face as her words towards him caused him pain. Thus the shot to the head.

He was no longer the little favorite of his mother so he killed her and took out his rage on the little ones whom
his mother began using as a surrogate. The little ones at school. The murderers mother used the kids at school
to replace her own son.

The murderer used his brothers ID to humiliate his older brother who was most popular. The selfish murdering son
like Cain killing Abel, being a coward, and a spoiled brat, wanted everyone to hurt because his "liberal intellectual"
parents abandoned him.

This is what happens when your religion is liberal secular humanism

For all the stats given, what's missing is the total number of homicides in each country… not just those convenient to the point at hand. A girl I know cursed guns on the day of the tragedy; 'f-ing guns!' Really? you're cursing the weapon of choice? I can drive through the area and see day care centers here and there, each with concrete re-inforced barriers/posts installed around the perimeter… all because some individual spun his car around in an intersection years ago and drove through one center's fence, killing several children.

On my first trip to Israel, I remember sitting at a table in JFK waiting for my flight looking at a large front page picture of a young man seated in a bus in Israel. He was perfectly framed by the bus window and at first glance you might think he'd nodded off, he was sitting back with his head slightly tilted… but then I realized that the window was missing, blown out by an explosion and the young man was dead, killed by a suicide bomber. When I arrived in Israel and took my first step onto the bus heading to Jerusalem, I stopped for a split second when I saw a 9mm holstered on the driver's hip… 'wrong bus?' but then seeing a cross-section of passengers, soldier's, grandmothers, students, etc… I realized what a different world I was in.

There were a couple times during my visit where streets were closed off, buses evacuated… and it was surreal to see armed bus drivers and soldiers with automatic rifles riding from point to point. But people still rode buses, resigned to fate or hopeful in the mercy of God to safely reach their destination.

Just this year there were several attempts attributed to Iran of targeting Israeli's abroad… by what means, and how many were killed by a bus bomb while on vacation in Bulgaria… only 5? So, doesn't count? Injured in Tel Aviv?

These families are grieving the loss of their children, spouses and friends… and so our response is knee-jerk reactionary… stronger gun laws, greater DUI penalties, stiffer drug sentences… create a TSA and then be virtually strip searched by technology just so you can board a flight.

This crime is outrageous! But any more so than rockets falling on civilians be they in Israel or Syria? Is the loss of loved ones any less painful? How does 'there ought to be a law' lessen the pain, the grief… the loss? It doesn't, only gives us voice having nothing else to say… to comfort…

Maybe, in this instance, we can learn a lesson from Job's friends by saying nothing and simply sit and grieve with them… looking to God for balm to heal; and not empty words.

The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights.

In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court issued two landmark decisions concerning the Second Amendment. In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia[1][2] and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
