    I just saw another report this morning in Texas at A&M.

    what will it take for us to confront this growing problem?

    sadly, I don’t think people want to confront it yet…or you might hear from the folks who think that we need to arm ourselves even more. I don’t get it…

    Jan, the way you keep saying that makes you sound like a defeatist. Which is unfortunate, because I know you’re not one.

    Please remember that the first step toward ending this madness is to create a culture that rejects the idea of guns as being something normal or something that’s just “the price we have to pay for freedom.” And that’s exactly what we’re doing here, creating that culture. So please try to think positive.

    You know, when I first started bringing this topic up, the pro-gun folks were still in full swagger, acting like anyone who was for tougher gun laws was just a voice in the wilderness.

    Now, after so many shootings — shootings in which the gun-toting “good guys” did not, in fact, come to the rescue — the public mood is changing.

    Yes, the tide is finally turning against the NRA. So let’s think positive and keep it going.

    DBP….I would like to think that some type of gun control will prevail. The other thread about “assault” weapons was interesting. Now we have had this lovely 20 yo woman in Gig Harbor, who everyone is saying is “mentally challenged” shooting at random strangers in a grocery store. The first question was…what is her motive. The IS NO MOTIVE to justify it. And…how did she get a weapon in the first place. So, yes, something needs to change. I don’t mind you having a gun if you want one. But…more stringent rules somehow are needed in order to get one. Do I know what the answrs are? No. Me? Defeatest?lololol…well, if you had seen me this past weekend, you might have thought it was happening…but…no, I’m not a defeatest at all..definitely cynical, however…
