Re: Conneticut School Shooting

A terrible tragedy.

Members who have served in the forces will be well aware of the awesome power of a hand held weapon.

You never forget your training and when I spend some time on active service I was prepared to kill or be killed.

Weapons and ammunition access (especially for young people) should be more controlled

Schools and other establishments will have to secure their boundaries and installation of airport style metal detectors should be implemented immediately.

Well I don't know, I do believe Obama will be doing all he can to get something sorted after yesterday's tragedy.

I just hope it is implemented before another 20 children are killed.

His mother legally held 5 firearms, WHY???, presume he shot her with one since he lived with her and would have had access.

Not a clue.

I'm waiting for the half six ITV News to come on to see the latest about this terrible, terrible occurrence.

Whilst I was in the local town today I stopped by Church to say a prayer for them.

2 girls and a boy aged 6 named and the killer was believed to have a personality disorder. Why the hell would you have guns where he could get at them let aline have them at all. 1 was a high powered rifle. It beggers belief.

Terrible, just terrible. They have a gun culture in America and much as I'd like to see them made illegal, I can't see it happening.

God bless all those poor children, the teachers that tried so hard to save them. What a horror for the police and ambulance workers. R.I.P

Sadly I agree with you. If they can't get some controls in now then they never will.
