There is, indeed, a lesson to be learned, and I'm curious to see if it has been. So I'm going to relinquish the floor. How would you respond to the assertion that it's too dangerous to keep a loaded gun in the home?
I have a question for the readers in today's Gun Rights Examiner column.
Go there and share your thoughts with us.
Sounds like another case of a kid who was placed on mind controlling meds at the government school.
ReplyDeleteThe gun is no more dangerous than the "always loaded" knives kept in the house.

He was recovering from a severe staph infection, which means he was on antibiotics,for a year. Long term use of antibiotics can have a very bad effect on a persons mental state. He likely also may have been on pain killers and cortisone, which will add greatly to the fog in his mind. I don't excuse what he did in the least, but I had roughly the same problem for at least a year, and I thought I was going out of my mind at the end, when surgery finally was able to fix the problem. Quit the painkillers, the cortisone, and the antibiotics, and it took four months for me to start feeling like myself again. The kid has no excuse, but the drugs he was taking pushed him over an edge. I know his family is rent by this and my sympathy goes out to them. I could not begin to say how he should be judged, and no matter what transpires, the hole in this family will never heal. All one can do is, in my case, is ask G*d for guidance, and peace. Someone in my family killed another member of my family, a long time ago. I could not tell you what effect it has had on me, because they were very close. But you go on, and if you can forgive, with justice done, you can live your life. I believe that G*d had a plan for me to love and help others, and it did happen that way. You do not know what's around the corner, so let go what you can't fix, and let G*d.Sorry Kent, that I had to bring all that into the conversation, but that's the way I think. And I think I'll wish you a Merry Christmas, Kent.
