No one should ever sell that kind of weapon and ammo to anyone under the age off 21, and the request to purchase such weapon should automatically go to the every Law Enforcement agency in that city, county, and State and a period of 7 days before purchase can be completed. Local officials should then verify close scrutiny of the age, and address of the buyer and do whatever needs to be done before the purchase goes through.<br />celia ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426047960428568586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-5065516649536776772022-05-26T17:47:21.354-04:002022-05-26T17:47:21.354-04:00Dear Bonnie, sending you and the quilting friends ...Dear Bonnie, sending you and the quilting friends here my heartfelt condolences over this latest terrible, senseless and needless mass murder in a school. Here, in Australia, we can hardly make sense of it as we have very strict gun control laws - and NO mass murders since those laws came into effect nearly 30 years ago. The only people who can have guns are the military, police, security officers, farmers and a very few registered gun clubs. Who else needs one?? I'm so sorry for you all.Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389214735623254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28481649975598129022022-05-26T14:12:39.938-04:002022-05-26T14:12:39.938-04:00Well said CatsWell said CatsCarol Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372189855838892024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-48100232128982528392022-05-26T09:23:21.222-04:002022-05-26T09:23:21.222-04:00Thak you for discussing a difficult subject today....Thak you for discussing a difficult subject today.

Yes, as part of a 'well regulated militia' perhaps citizens should be taught gun safety, how to shoot and have access to guns kept in secure settings, but how can the gun ownership in this latest atrocity possibly be justified by those frequently overlooked words of the second amendment?Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441488233119147561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70824767858636619612022-05-26T00:18:40.797-04:002022-05-26T00:18:40.797-04:00Amen !Amen !MaryJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633712443053346378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3304613950388497292022-05-26T00:17:02.565-04:002022-05-26T00:17:02.565-04:00Well written KitKat!

I always love your posts, as it is good to know that we think along the same lines. I personally feel that those politicians love their guns more than children and that they have blood on their hands, hearts and souls. The second amendment is not the Bible, and their jobs are not so important, especially since they are not doing their jobs. They have lost their way and some one needs to wake them up. I hope they lose their jobs and I would love to be able to vote against all of them. bcarlfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08752913455207694741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-86770561887233693402022-05-25T20:23:35.575-04:002022-05-25T20:23:35.575-04:00I cry a lot these days and avoid news.

They went through a litany of the deaths due to gun violence. It was a long litany. I was shocked at how many deaths there were. I don't know what the answer is but personally I want to go back to nothing but rifles used for hunting, not guns whose only purpose is to kill people rapidly. I am so sad.spacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529085224508496501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29608526649895403622022-05-25T17:37:03.902-04:002022-05-25T17:37:03.902-04:00Less Guns, More Mental HospitalsLess Guns, More Mental HospitalsShiloh Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081084956388806397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38555760687535642862022-05-25T17:35:04.116-04:002022-05-25T17:35:04.116-04:00Bonnie, I so agree with you.

Two of my sons are teachers and I worry about them too as well as their students. This doesn't happen in other countries!!! There is no reason that I can think of that anyone other than the military needs an assault weapon. I'm saying prayers for all those parents and families dealing with this right now.Kb48https://www.blogger.com/profile/17589550647633808457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16290669665396343942022-05-25T16:48:00.237-04:002022-05-25T16:48:00.237-04:00My heart also broke when i heard this awful news. ...My heart also broke when i heard this awful news.

As with many things, the 2nd amendment is open for a lot of interpretation, and we aren't going to convince anyone that "our" side is the right side, regardless of which side we are on. What I keep asking is this: Did the founding fathers who wrote this have ANY idea what weapons were going to look like over 200 years later, or how quickly we can move about? Single shot long guns and horses are no longer the norm. Hoping for some peace in our hearts, but cannot imagine where it will be found.Mommy Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073318881618159212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51462468363238777732022-05-25T15:49:12.665-04:002022-05-25T15:49:12.665-04:00We pulled my granddaughter from public school beca...We pulled my granddaughter from public school because of all of the bullying that was going on. She received messages telling her that she needed to kill herself like one of the other students did. I found out today that a student that brought 2 guns, a knife and a hit list to her school last year, is going to be allowed back in the same school next year. I don't understand why that would be allowed at all.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632823575471988064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16625282601937977552022-05-25T15:09:32.468-04:002022-05-25T15:09:32.468-04:00Finally I am able to comment again.

I believe that when our forefathers wrote the constitution, guns as we have them today were not in the picture. They had muskets and a militia. There was no police, etc. We don't need military style weapons on the streets. As long as our elected officials don't have the backbone to introduce or change the law when it comes to certain types of guns, this will umfortunately continue.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Ruth McIlwainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857210810662450762noreply@blogger.com
