Ai Dios!

Guns do not kill people.....

Bullets and idiots, do.



I have three pistols and a bunch of guns that have never gone out and wanted to kill anyone.

I am for gun control.

Gettting a gun should be as hard, or harder than buying a house.

I heard that the reason he chose to kill the young girls was because he was bullied by them while he was in school.

Here's a challenge.........

Walk into your local gun store and ask for an AK-47.

One of two things is going to happen:

The owner is going to politely ask you to leave,

or

If you happen into one of the few gun stores in America which happen to sell AK-47's, you are going to get asked for your FFL Class III license, a $200 non-refundable transfer application tax/fee, and you'll get a bill for about $7500 for the weapon. Some weeks later after all the paperwork has cleared, you'll get your AK-47. Legal fully automatic weapons are rare, dealers are rarer still, and the amount of paperwork required to get the required license limits the number of applicants who are willing to go through the trouble.

If you buy a gun from someone off the street, with no paperwork and no background check, you are committing a felony, with an automatic (theoretically, it's hardly ever enforced) 2 year federal jail sentence.

Veering back to the original topic, I'm been thinking about the girls who survived and how they will cope with everything they saw and experienced. Yes, they belong to a close-knit and very supportive community that will help them greatly. But, will that community know how to deal with the kind of psychological damage this trauma will have caused? I know next to nothing about the Amish, so I don't know - will they allow these children to see professional counselors or pschologists? Will they assume that their faith will heal them and they need no other help?

The entire community will need counseling if what I heard on the news is true and I'm sure it is.

There is a group of "war protesters" from Kansas who make it their sole purpose in life to protest funerals. They usually just protest military funerals so I was surprised to see them already in PA protesting where these innocent children were butchered.

They aren't protesting that the children were killed, they seem to think it's just punishment for the US being in the IRAQ war??? They are supposidly a "Baptist" group of some sort. I know of no Baptist church that will claim them myself!!! They are a bunch of nuts in my opinion.

When they protested recently at one of the funerals of one of the military men killed in Iraq at one of our nearby towns; the towns people ringed the area with American flags so the family of the soldier couldn't see them.

I'm not a violent person but these people make me sick. They are a disgrace to Christians every where (how they can even claim to be Christians is beyond me) and I'm ashamed they are from my state!!!

I guess some people will use any excuse to show thier ignorance!!!

You have got to be kidding me.....those people are actually going to protest the funerals of children?? As if that community doesn't have enough to deal with already How sad.

Yes, they are already there. When I see them all lined up and grinning like they are I want to slap some sense into them.

If they want to protest the war, they should go picket the White House and stop the nonsence at funerals. The Amish don't believe in war at all and don't even serve in the miliary!!!

The fact that these nut jobs seem to think innocent people are getting what they deserve because the government is at war is really frightening to me. I can't help wonder if they would be protesting at the funeral if it was one of their loved ones!!!

Connie, the only reason these "chistians" (nothing Christian about them!) are at the funerals of these poor girls is to protest comments made by the Pennsylvania governor critizing them. They don't care at all about the sensless tragedy in this community. To me, they're lower than dirt.

What comments? I think I missed that part...

I couldn't agree with you more!
I wondered why they were there since it wasn't a funeral of a military member.

To tell grieving people that God hates them and they are getting what they deserve because of what the country does is just stupid!!!!!!!!

Too bad we can't ban protests at funerals!!! (we've tried in Kansas)

Good question, I don't know either, but I would imagine they will want to deal with it privately within their own community. I know I would be crazed beyond belief - how do you deal with the violent and senseless slaughter of your little girl? *shakes head*

I was also stunned that a group would protest in that way - their smiling faces holding up posters claiming this is God's justice made me want to puke. "God hates you" was one of them. I wonder how they deal with tragedy in their lives? Who or what do they turn to when nothing makes sense? They seem to think they have all the answers.
It's disgraceful that they even got coverage by the networks. Half the time I think if the news-casters weren't hyping up these & other bizzaros so much, alot of them would just fade into oblivion.

Then I guess our relationship is over..... I don't go to house with guns. It is just too, too dangerous....

Our house has guns.... Please explain to me what makes my house dangerous.
