GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE

While I am very sorry for all of the people who lost family members because of one psychotic young man in California, gun laws wouldn't have kept this man from killing those people.  He used a KNIFE to kill some of the people on his list.  Are we going to outlaw knives now?  The guns made it quicker for some, but he was determined to these kill people no matter how he had to do it.  He had a list.  Criminals have always been able to get whatever they 'needed,' and no matter what the laws are, will continue to do so.

I believe that the efforts should be concentrated on the Justice System, or lack thereof.  If the penalties were swift, harsh, and public, maybe some of these people would think twice before doing these horrific things.  Some would not.  Some would do it no matter what because they know that they are going to kill themselves at the end of it anyway.  

We live in a society that takes better care of their prison inmates, and is more afraid of unjustly accusing someone than we do of our VETERANS and their Families who have risked and given their all for our freedoms.  No other country has private organizations soliciting donations to get their Veterans the care they need.  Nor do they have Veterans being refused treatment at Federal facilities.

Had to vent.  Wishing you all a Safe and Blessed Memorial Day Weekend.

THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE.
