Heart goes out to those in Connecticut

I am an American and a mom. I was raised with firearms and was taught from a very early age to respect them and handle them safely. However. I believe an individual's right to own a handgun is less important than a child's right to grow up.

Hunting is one thing- but a round of buckshot is not going to do the same damage that an assault rifle will.

Here is the thing in 75% of shooting sprees like this the guns are obtained legally. I think at minimum there needs to be tough background checks for prospective owners.

Gun control does not equal gun ban.

As far as faith goes. Faith does not equate morality. Morality cannot and should not be legislated.

My faith is not yours and yours is not mine. Some of the most moral people I have ever had the pleasure to know are atheist.
