Gettin' Rid of the Big Gunz
The families of the Newtown victims have recently filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the rifle used in the shooting of the Sandy Hook Elementary school 2 years ago. 20-year old Adam Lanza entered the school on December 14th, 2012 armed with an AR-15 rifle and fatally shot 20 students and 6 staff members, then turned the gun on himself after his bloody attack. This AR-15 should not have been sold to anyone in the public. It is a military rifle and should only be used in that sense. Someone in the community should not have any sort of access to buying a rifle that dangerous. Someone especially should not even own this weapon knowing that they have a person in their home with mental issues. I'm not saying that people shouldn't own any guns, but they shouldn't be splayed out to have easy accessibility; also the gun owners really don't need that type of military gun. As previously stated, I am not against citizens owning guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. But, those people who are killing people (if they have mental aliments) shouldn't have easy accessibility like Adam Lanza did. It breaks my heart that this tragedy occurred. My baby sister is around the ages of those children who passed away; just thinking that makes my heart hurt. The teachers and staff that put the children before themselves were complete saints, and tried what they could to protect those children. I understand that people want stricter gun laws after this incident; but it's not the gun that pulls the trigger.
