It’s not the guns

Sun., March 24, 2013

Guns have no part in the reasons that someone would choose to shoot and kill people. Today, the news report was about the man who killed the students in Connecticut. They have done a highly intense study of his lifestyle. It seems that he was obsessed with killers, and he saw the number killed was a score. He wanted to set a higher score. This is just one example of an insane man.

Now, if a gun is sitting there, nothing can happen. The only way that people are being killed is when we have psycho-maniacs behind the guns. Guns are not the problem they are just tools. It’s the people who operate them that create the tragedies.
