Why are you trying to take the rights of law abiding citizens,and not enforcing the laws we already have. You walk around with armed security and then try and take our ability to protect our selfs. Please stop being part of the problem.

Many of those killed are law abiding, and many are children living life & going to school only until that one day, in a matter of a few minutes they never go home again. Families shattered. Children fear going to school. This was unheard of when I was growing up going to school.
