It has been almost four years since a lone gunman walked into an elementary school in Sandy Hook, Conn., and slaughtered 26 people, mostly children. The facts are clear -- a deranged young man, after taking guns from his mother and murdering her, went to that school and riddled children and teachers with bullets. No one disputes the fact that since that day some 120,000 Americans have died from gunfire either from another person or self-inflicted. No one disputes the fact that since that day, over 250,000 people have been wounded by guns in America. No one disputes that since that day our nation’s Congress has failed pass a single piece of legislation to lessen the chance that it could happen again. |

| The more "gun control" laws, the more bloodshed there will be! |

| And would the attack even have taken place if a smattering of concerned staff were trained, armed, and prepared to defend their children? |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
