Ok, as a deer hunter who lives in Mississippi (surrounded by die hard hunters everywhere), I feel i need to tell Cygnus to chill out a bit. Certain guns can be banned and still leave room for hunting rifles, single-shot muzzle loaders and some shotguns, which is the bread and butter of hunters everywhere. The .223 Bushmaster that the kid had which was owned by his mother? Seriously, who needs that?
And your defense of making schools fortresses? What about the theater shooting not long ago, or the church shooting? Do we make all public buildings fortresses now? We may as well just declare martial law and get it over with.
The problem with tighter gun control ownership here is that the mother legally owned all those guns, but it didn't stop the son from killing her and using them. How do you stop that? She may have been mentally competent, but another member of her family wasn't.
On the flip side, everyone else does need to understand that there are milllions of hunters all over the u.s. and not all of us are the extreme, "wear the blood of what we kill", "you can pry it from my cold dead hands" kinda hunters. I hunt and kill deer for food, plain and simple.
For me, this incident is too much, it's the breaking point for me. The few bad apples have ruined it for all of us. I'm not asking for an all-out, blanket ban, but something serious needs to be done. Unfortunately, no one trusts our government to do this the right way.......
