Too lax with kids, parents

How many more innocent students and teachers need to die from gun shootings? Parents of these killers are still purchasing AR-15-type weapons and are sloppily locking them up for their children to figure out the combinations. I always thought these powerful rapid-fire guns were illegal. How much firing power do you need to kill a deer? Wouldn’t you think that the handgun would have been enough to deter house invaders?

I have read several articles in our newspaper where the authors ask, “What are we doing wrong in raising our children?” It’s so obvious. Don’t buy them horrible videos for one. It’s their money they are giving. Parents are suppose to teach also. We are supposed to sympathize with these parents when things go wrong? Why is it up to a janitor to tackle these kid killers? And what about my longstanding idea of simple metal detectors in the schools?

We are pretty lax in the way we handle criminals and the people who raise them. We are all having less children than in the old days, can’t we protect them better? Answers are here, adhere, save lives.
