Those of us who live here, own guns, and use them for hunting and self-protection need to be willing to look at the cultural issues that are bigger than our own mindsets. Might it not be that we need to consider restating the Second Amendment in such a way as to prohibit private ownership of certain types of armament? We already do some of that within the scope of the amendment; why not look further? Why not consider the way we publicize the events...the murderer, who may have never had much in the way of self
gratification, can be sure if his, yes his, crime is of a certain magnitude, he will be remembered for the way it was publicized with his face on every newscast and every front page?

<div style="BACKGROUND: white" class="yiv623205009MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black">There's a difference between being prepared and simply reacting to something. I take a blanket and a flashlight with me on winter trips in the car, I carry jumper cables in the trunk, I have smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher in my house, I bring a space blanket, some matches, and a folding knife with me when I go hiking, and I keep a gun at home in case I need to protect myself.<br><br>Banning all guns because someone used one in a horrifying way appears to me to be more of a fear-driven act. There is definitely room for improvement in who we sell guns to and how well we learn how to use them but that's a discussion that should happen after the knee-jerk reactions have passed.<br><br>Paul</span></div>
