[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just this afternoon my sitter texted me that he had dropped off my teen DD and her 2 friends at a movie.  He said 15 police cars raced by, he had checked twitter, and seen that there was an active shooter in an office building nearby and that people were running out of the building.  He asked me what I would like him to do.

SMH at this country.  What a fiasco and an embarrassment.[/quote]

Exactly.  Just the other day, I told my daughter, who had apparently witnessed a verbal altercation a couple houses down while outside jumping rope, to run back in the house if she saw that car again for fear the idiot might return with a gun.

Is this the society we want for our children?[/quote]

Guns have always been a prevalent part of our country's history. Were you afraid of it when you were growing up? Your parents? If not, what changed? I know I was oblivious to US gun ownership growing up. Didn't actually see someone open carry until my late 30s in Virginia. Semi-auto rifles has been available to US consumers ever since they were commercially available. Same with handguns. The popular 1911 was a pre-WWI weapon. If it was not a problem in American's minds then, what changed to make it a problem now? I have my own take on why it's a problem now but would like to here some different opinions.[/quote]
