I believe the ones who own deadly guns are the ones complaining and most likely own and use the deadly guns. If they buy these for fun, they must be a poor shot and have a lot of money to buy expensive guns and shells. No one is against ownership of guns. We own guns and my husband used a lot of them when he was a scout and sargent in World War II.  Owners who buy the AR-15, or the Bushmaster, could volunteer for the military. They (the military) would welcome all of these sharp shooters and it would save them money for guns and shells.

We want to express our feelings for the loss of all the little children and teachers who lost their loved ones in the worst murder that has ever happened. We want to express just how bad we feel about these guns that should be destroyed for their uselessness. We watched National Rifle Association representatives tell us that guns don't kill people, only people kill people. That is the worst talk. No one needs a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle, of which a person can keep on pulling the trigger.
