What Kind Of World Do We Live In That Someone Can Walk Into A School With Guns And Kill 26 People?

[Dombovar]

I know it is in the US, but that a 20+ yr old can get hold of a variety of guns, walk into an elementary school and needlessly kill 20 iinnocent children and 6 adults, makes you wonder what will happen next. Yet some people say that
there is nothing wrong.

True, you need to be careful not to fall into the same trap—thinking that we can worship God with intelligent minds but faithless hearts.

Intelligent minds? Intelligent minds are rational.

Here is the shocker to all this - In the US, many gunshops and supermarkets, like Wal-Mart, have seen a huge increase in the purchase of the laughably innocuous "sporting semi-automatic rifles" of a type similar to that used in the most recent spree- killing - to the extent that many outlets have actually sold out.

Why? Because the "gun enthusiasts" are worried that the Govt. will attempt to resurrect the ban that was allowed to lapse, and curtail the ability to purchase such weapons and high capacity magazines.

And, ironically, a gunfight broke out over an argument about the Newtown shootings, with one guy running out to his car, getting his handgun and firing off shots at the others in the argument in a barbers shop....

There is much to admire about americans and their country, but this fetishisation of the gun is not one of their more admirable features....

I have a gun that I use for clay pigeon shooting, but the assortment available for sale in the US is mind boggling!! Why would anyone need them - or want them?
