Try telling "guns do not kill people, people do" to one of the parents of the 18 children who were killed.
Mexico has gun control. How's that working for them?
Gun Control is NOT the answer. We need to stop telling every kid how "special" they are from the day they are born. Every kid now gets a trophy, gets a ribbon, or some other award so the child doesn't have to feel bad for not winning.
Children need to be taught to be persistant, work hard, and never give up. Things don't come easy - work hard for what you want. Working hard and achieving want you want is the greatest reward in life.
For many of the kids who were coddled all their life, their message seems to say "I didn't get what I wanted or needed in life, so I'm going to take it out on everyone else."
Say a prayer for those families affected by this tragedy, and pray for the future of every child growing up in today's world.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
