The gun buy back is a half assed attempt at taking ALL the guns away from the people…including law abiding citizens. We cannot live in a society where only the government has all the guns and the power and the people have to bend to their will. Hello Cuba, China, Mexico, North Korea, etc. Get the picture? I don’t think so. What happened to those kids is a tragedy but the answer to the problem is not some feel good remedy. Sometimes, we cannot fight violence with mere words. These r awful times, we need to take a close look at security and how we handle these issues.
