I know mat.I seen the mother of one of the victims.She was distraught.She will never get her daughter back all because of the easy accesibility of firearms.Its like a right of passage in America.Here you turn 17 you can learn how to drive, Turn 18 can buy your first alcoholic drink.But in America coming of age here kid have your first gun! I really do get people feel like they need protection but to what cost.Just glad it isnt as bad in UK.Maybe this is why we have diff views and take upon it.
