We're also becoming desensitized to all the senseless mass murders.
In the 8th grade the first boy we ever like, that liked us back, killed himself with a shotgun in school (personal story). It was sad, and tragic.
Still.
We're not anti-gun. We're pro gun control. ('Guns, Guns, Guns...and Freedom' http://just-call-me-frank.blogspot.com/2012/07/guns-guns-gunsand-freedom_20.html).
But in the last couple of years, or further back, since Columbine even...there is a growing need for something...different.
You may "cling" to your gun (if you oppose any control, you are clinging), but so do the children of the parents who don't lock them up properly; so do the kids, and adults, who can just get them freely, with few regulation check points; so could people who accidentally find a gun in meat shipment.
They cling to the gun too, while they take the lives of others.
Something is not right in this country. Something needs to change. Taking away guns isn't the answer. Regulation and control is. Lives lost, overshadow freedoms, sometimes. When the people in the country can't act responsibly, what hope it there.
