Guns, lots of guns - always a hot button.
Having a 5 year old of my own, my heart aches for those parents who lost so much. My most heart-felt condolences to them now.
As for the issue:
People, it doesn't matter. We cannot make the Chinese UN-invent the gun anymore than we can take back our inventions of the nuclear bomb, mustard gas, napalm, and all the horrific things our species has produced to kill each other. It has always seemed a rather futile argument to me. Like anything else out of Pandora's Box ... it cannot be put back.
Keep in mind that BOTH sides of the argument have statistics on their side. We all see what we want to see don't we?
