Yet another mass shooting this time in a Grade school. 20 children lost their lives in this tragedy. I don't know how any human could be capable of this level of pure malice. I'm sick and disgusted that the shooter is one of my own countrymen. This is the second shooting in just a couple of weeks. The last one at a Mall just got off the news rotation. All of this before the Holidays as well. The entire country is in a state of shock. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

And you're right, it's a shame that this happens at this time of the year. I really hope there won't be more shootings now that this one got so much attention. Might just be my imagination, but in the past these tragedies always came in groups, as if other lunatics felt encouraged. What a horrible christmas for the families.

I've deliberately stayed away from the details because it's just too upsetting. Bless those kids and my heart goes out to those parents and anyone affected.

Too many of these shootings have been conducted with legal weapons that come from the shooter's home. Or obtained legally where the gunmen were adults...

You would be mistaken in the belief there would be fewer shootings with more restrictions, Statistics in this country overwhelmingly show that cities and states with strict gun laws have far greater crime rates across the board, especially crimes involving guns than cities and states that have more liberal gun laws. Not only that but for every life that is taken with a gun in the act of a crime, the number of people saved by responsible people with guns are multitudes higher.

Anyone wanting to commit such heinous acts as this will obtain the weapons in ways that the law abiding citizens wouldn't be able to, while the law abiding citizens are punished by making it tougher on them to have their own protection. Don't get me wrong, I don't think a full on shoot out is the way to deal with any situation, but it's not the guns doing the killing... it's the people doing the killing. The guns are just the tools being used, if none were available then it would be some makeshift explosive device.... Definitely not looking to argue the point, but it's just the facts. People are going to kill regardless, once they have gotten that sick it's just going to happen with whatever they can get their hands on. McVeigh didn't use guns and he killed 168 people en masse. Our children become more and more desensitized every day. Not picking on video games cause I love my share of them, but a video game where the goal is to kill as many people as you can is what has become the baby sitters for young kids today. Parents will let their kids sit in front of these things for hours on end with out caring what they are about just so long the kid isn't "bothering" them by wanting some of their attention. It literally sickens me to be online and hearing these young kids cursing and talking about blowing someone's "F'n" head off in these video game chats. It's not even a ban on the media, guns, video games or any of that... its about the core values that are not being taught to children by their parents any more. That is truly what sickens me the most. It seems that there is absolutely no respect being taught to children these days and it's going to come back to haunt us... Sad sad days ahead indeed.

That is one thing I whole heartedly agree with. One thing I notice in people that are not even that much younger than me is that they seem to have no concept of empathy for human suffering. It's viewed just as if they were observing a weather update or something. The more 'involving' our technology and games become, the more removed we are from other people.. to the point that when someone views another person in distress or hurt or worse, the instinct is not to help but to observe and to capture the event on one's phone.
