The Guns of December

It is only eleven days 'til Christmas.  Couldn't we get to that at least?  What made some twit's madness so important that twenty children and six adults had to miss Santa, miss whatever they were looking forward to?  Like life. What couldn't have waited?  How about: "I'll let everybody have a good time before I kill them". Wouldn't that be an expression of superiority? 
I think we all know that crazy doesn't give a damn.  What we don't know is why.  I believe we have gotten to the point where "why" is the most important question.

Let's start with what everybody thinks:  Guns are expressions of our independence.  Bad guys misuse guns. Guns are not evil in themselves.

Okay, what is going on when some 20 year old legally buys guns and ammo and uses it to shoot up an elementary school?  It stops being a matter of philosophy.  That's what's going on.  You can't keep going on about the bill of rights when idiots are being given the right to do whatever they think God is telling them to do.

In fairness, that's if they actually blame it on God.

But on the other hand it shouldn't matter.

It's a shame that some of the kids we raise turn out to be evil.  What we need is a way to identify them before they start killing.

In a way the NRA is right.  It ain't the guns so much as the crazy evils that have legal access to them.  Can we maybe look at this?

God love all you people in Connecticut who have been hurt.
