Dana, I cannot feel the depth of your emotion, but empathize as best I can. I have experienced tragic losses in my life. My prayers are with you and all who have been touched by this senseless incident.However, I feel it necessary to point out that dedicating your life to anti-gun legislation will not prevent such ocurrences as this -- as has been said, "if you outlaw guns, the only ones with guns are the outlaws". Think about it. Statistics prove beyond any doubt that cities with handgun bans have the highest rate of crimes committed with guns -- criminals fear no retribution from a population that cannot defend itself, and criminals will ALWAYS be able to obtain guns, ban or no.All anti-gun legislation does is take the possibility of safety and defense away from non-criminals and make them easy targets.I know the Uni/University community will not agree because this is not PC, but it IS true and incontrovertable.
