Day after

After what happened yesterday with the mass murder of innocent children I wasn't about to put an entry here and then read it the next day and edit it or delete as I have done a good number of posts about other things.. I decided to let it just build overnight and give me a better idea of what it was I wanted to say... Gun control is a very touchy subject here in America.. I wouldn't want to tell anyone they shouldn't have a gun, I really don't own one myself (an airgun) technically, but.. And I know if I did own any number of guns I wouldn't want them taken away, but there are guns for sport and there are guns for ..  not sport.. Semi automatic and fully automatic are not sport guns.. When I would hear guys talk about going hunting it was always that one single shot that got the animal they were shooting at.. There would be a point of pride in them getting their game in one shot, taking it down with as few shots as possible.. Most of the time that is to preserve as much meat as possible, also if the animal is in stress it taints the meat somehow..  An instant death is preferred to multiple shots/wounds..  I have never heard of anyone taking a gun out and shooting an animal with a multishot type of ammo gun.. It isn't a sport that way.. So to me there really is no good in a semiautomatic or full automatic gun... I would have no problem with these being outlawed but they won't do that.. Not until enough people are killed.. And will what happened yesterday happen again?? Yes, and more often than not it will happen with more regularity..  I think of the nephew and he is just that age of going to grade school, and that is what scares everyone the most..  That that happened yesterday the principal had just changed the security for the school but the idiot that went on this rampage was known by everyone, HIS MOM WORKED AT THE SCHOOL  and was his first or one of his first targets.. How can you secure against someone who seemed (at the time) to have his shit together..  To think.. And I worked at the school here as custodian and I couldn't think of such a thing happening.. When I was in school I couldn't think of such a thing going on.. But they drill for such events now, much the same way they used to drill for nuclear attacks in the fifties &  sixties or fires when I was in school, tornadoes now and now they will add dipshit attack drills BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO!!..
