As for the talk of people who want to use their "second amendment rights" if the election does not come out their way, I heard a "news" story yesterday about someone advocating just that. But as far as the Texas shooting situation, if that kid had not had such easy access to guns then the shooting would not have taken place. I am just thankful that he did not kill anyone except himself. What is most upsetting about this situation is its proximity to the bell tower where a sniper killed 16 (I think it was 16) people in the 80's in what is thought to be the first of the now far to frequent campus shooting sprees. mchonto wrote: > > Jim, > > I agree with your sentiment but I would add that there are some > countries with more guns per capita than the US.
