In light of the Colorado shooting lets open the forum to how we feel about guns. Do American citizens have the right to own firearms? For hunting? For self-protection? As a collection? Or is owning weapons an antiquated concept from the days of the wild west? My uncle was a hunter with head and antlers on the wall. My grandfather always had a pistol in a cabinet in the living room...until dementia set in and he started answering the door holding it, then my Dad wisely decided it was time to sell it.
We live near an urban area with one of the highest murder rates in the country. Obviously this colors my opinion of gun control. It's frightening to know being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the wrong street at the wrong time...the wrong theater at the wrong time. They aren't aiming at you, you're just collateral damage while they were trying to take out the guy in that store.
There are alot of very angry people out there. In the Colorado shooting the mother of the accused agrees he did it. My husbands brother is like that, unfortunately the police can't bust someone for being insane, or for legally walking into Walmart and purchasing guns. They can only do something after something happens...scary, scary, world out there kids...
