With all the incredibly sad news coming out of the United States at the moment and all the loss of young life, it's hard to believe that a State Representative has made it public that he believes teachers should carry guns or have access to a gun in their classroom, and that by carrying such a weapon you are going to ensure the children are safe.
There is nothing safe about guns. Period.
I just can't get around why people feel that by carrying a lethal weapon, they are safe. It is an object that has been designed to end life. That is it's primary purpose, not protection.
I've started reading news sites comments, articles, the National Rifle Associations facebook page (and comments from people that have liked it) and it completely frightens the sh*t out of me that a lot of people still will not act on banning guns. They believe that if a civilian was armed when a shooting like this happened, they'd jump in there and "protect" everybody.
This mentality is just crazy.
It isn't the late 1700's anymore, there is no civil war anymore. it's time to change. I really hope Obama can get a bill through banning guns, as seeing this news is just heart breaking. R.I.P. to all those that lost their young precious lives.
Shoot a camera, not a gun.
