Alas, in the US there is no desire to change, or to be educated.
I watched a TV program where a couple were taking their five year old child to choose her first gun...and later it showed them on a firing range with her.
Please tell me if you can....where is the sense in that?
Those who have malign intent will always be able to get weapons...an illegal weapon is just as deadly as a legal one.
I really do despair of the way this world is going.

I agree with most of what you say Margaret, there are some you can thump all day long, and they won't see sense, they shud be either sterilised or put down, as for education, that really starts on the mothers knee, whilst still in the nappy stage.
My only grandson is an example, he devours knowledge like a starving dog.
