[quote=Anonymous]In our MCPS middle school, students observed a moment of silence, read out the names of the victims, wrote letters to their congress reps/senators, and walked out 17 minutes before the school closed to assemble in the field in a peaceful and orderly fashion. They dispersed then when the school day ended to walk home or catch the bus. It was very powerful. I am so impressed how very quite and somber the mood was in the school, considering it is middle schooler. I am a gun owner. I grew up hunting with a license. However, I have no issues with stricter gun control laws and I do not think that the right to bear arms is jeopardized with legislation that is sensible and safety oriented. Just like we do not allow people to drive cars without a license and a due process, we should not allow gun ownership without a thorough vetting of the owner and a strict licensing process. Unlike cars, guns are made to kill or deter by threat of death/injury. I want to see responsible and strict legislation so that a few bad apples are weeded out and it does not jeopardize my right to legally bear arms. There are many countries that have instituted such reforms and there is no reason we cannot be civilized and do the same. [/quote]
