    People say they want a gun in their home to protect their family but then it ends up being stolen and killing our kids. What is wrong with this country? Gun owners say :it's not the gun that kills, it's people" pffft!!! IT IS THE GUN. I'm so sick of hearing these pathetic words. Please DO SOMETHING NOW !!!!!

    Save our kids & put an end to these gruesome killings and adopt what other industrialized nations like Canada and Australia have adopted for gun control. Mind you, they have been very successful at reducing/ eliminating mass shootings after they banned semi automatic guns. So its action time now..

    Something has to be done about this, how many more must die, before we decide that enough is enough. Our babies are being shot down. If not this, then what will it take.

    Assault weapons and high capacity magazines should not be in the possession of every day private citizens. In my humble opinion, these weapons should be completely banned from Gun Shows and Private Sales as well as Internet Sales. Let's get a grip, America! Defend LIFE, not the right to bear Assault Weapons.

    When I was young, we hid under our desk at school as protection against a nuclear attack. Lockdowns, evacuations, drills, armed security guards are as ineffective as those desks to protect our kids, as long as people can so easily acquire guns. Some people say, "It's PEOPLE who kill people, not guns." How ridiculous. It's people who kill people--with guns! We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines! What are we waiting for? The next massacre? Or the one after that?

    Lock down, evacuation and fire drills twice a month help to prepare for the horrific, but I think there should also be trained security guards at all schools.

    The time has come to make sure that only the police and the military have access to automatic and semi-automatic weaponry. It is also time for the closing of any and all loopholes regarding the purchase of weapons at gun shows. Citizens can purchase handguns for protection or rifles for hunting after waiting on a thorough background check. This is not about taking away people's guns, nor is it an automatic cure for every lunatic out there who wants to commit violence. However, the time has come to make it as difficult as possible for individuals to commit the heinous acts and that starts with limiting the access to weaponry that makes it easier in any way shape or form to commit mass murder. The time has come. Please look at the pictures of the victims in Connecticut and steel your will to act as you know you should. Thank you.
