Not one of those people (and there are many) ever used a gun on a human. We were taught that guns can kill and even experienced the kill when hunting...we knew it was no game. I know it is a different world today, but I still believe the answer does not lie in the handling of the guns as much as it lies in the handling of the people. People with intent to harm will do it by whatever means necessary. Remove the gun and they will look for another weapon. The challenge is to remove the desire to harm others,right? Wouldn't that be more effective?Laura McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142102098189200576noreply@blogger.com
