I guess my comment on gun control went over the heads of both you and Annette. I'm NOT against gun locks. I'm against politicians who show crying Mothers and children on TV and scare people into believing they can stop all future HS shootings by passing a law which would have had zero affect on all prior HS shootings.

The point I was trying to make is:
Murder is against the law and punishable with the death penalty.
Do you really believe a person planning to murder 13 children will stop because he might get a $500 fine for having a gun illegally? Look at the Bradey Bill, how many people have been sent to prison? Ten people in 1998 I believe. Lets make another law, that will solve everything.

These kids need professional intervention at a young age but they will never get it because it doesn't get votes. So don't tell me you care about the children. If you cared about the children you would try to solve the problem and not make kneejerk laws to enhance political standings and get the sympathy vote.
