[QUOTE="Sockeye66, post: 2785988, member: 113619"] Prayers for the children and staff that were taken from this world far too soon, along with their famillies and loved ones. Prayers for the children, staff, and law enforcement who were in the school or responded. Prayers for all of us as it effects everyone. The factors as to why these horrific acts occur all to often in these times vs why it rarely occured in my childhood (70's and 80's) should be considered. Firearms could be purchased by anyone with the cash, no questions asked in sporting goods stores and hardware stores throughout the US during my childhood. The biggest differences IMO are the internet, and the violence our youth are feed through video games. Video games now are not Pac-Man and Asteroids, they're largely unregulated trainings videos on how to operate firearms and kill as many people in the shortest time possible, and the addiction to these games is staggering. Internet news glorifies the perpetrators of these cowardly acts and makes them far more famous than the victims. Neither of these issues will be confronted IMO by anyone who is in the position to make a difference because of the revenue created by them. I worked 17 years in a public school system, knowing I was the first line of defense for children under my watch and the countless bus rides with teams headed to games, always vigilant for trouble and ready to use whatever defense available if a situation had arisen.
