Drive by shooting!!

[DianaB]

That is scary that even our little towns and communities aren't safe. I live near a town of 2,600 and so far I don't think that we've had any drive by shootings, unless BB guns count! You know that eventually all the evil from the big cities spills out into the rural areas too. We're a little later getting it but eventually it gets here. So sad!!

It is VERY sad! These people that do this usually are trying to shoot a specific person (not that this is ok)and end up killing innocent people...I HATE guns...I'm glad I had girls...no hunting in this family!! People are just insane today! And alot of times it just random shooting FOR WHAT! and to prove WHAT POINT!! I just don't understand..

I don't hate guns and I think that every person has the right to have them as long as they've had training on how to handle them. Children are desynthesized (?) to the effects of shooting someone buy the use of video games and by watching violent tv shows and movies. My own daughter at age 14 goes hunting with her dad and there are children even younger than that that are being trained to use a gun. They are not a danger with their guns because they are being properly trained how and when to use one.

It's kids that have access to guns and haven't received training that are the problem. Respect for other people and their opinions also should go in here too. Not to turn to guns to settle our differences.

I agree, it's not the guns that kill, it's the people. It would absolutely scare me to death for them to be banned, because then only the bad people would have them...they've found a way to get everything else...then where would we be. Like the NRA says...they'd have to pry it from my cold dead fingers. AND no....I usually don't support the NRA...but they do have a few phrases that I agree with.
