We have got to get rid of these guns! The main people who shooting up these places are the ones fighting to keep guns! 18 should not be an age you can buy a gun! You are not mature! Everyone who purchases a gun should have psychological evaluation first! Age shouldn’t matter!
Outrageous how these shootings continue
We can't even send our kids to school. It should be a safe place for those childrens. What is wrong with people. Maybe a full blown security is needed on each school district. Maybe only ' Maybe ' we won't have this kind of problem around the states.
