        @mattklewis The senseless killing of Children anywhere on this Planet is a maddening / saddening reality of a violent world.

        @mattklewis Knee jerk reactions are almost always wrong. Period. To advance political ideology? Totally wrong.

        @mattklewis Do laws requiring you to pass a test to get a driver's license result in you surrendering liberty?

        @mattklewis I guess you are talking about of course your liberty, not the liberty of the kids that should have been safe at school?
