I Do Not Support Gun Control
I would hate that the government could take away my guns. I have a right to have them.
When you hear about the school shootings, the senseless murders from people that have mental issues. I think that we need to realize that we cannot control everything. I feel badly for all involved the parents, the children, teachers, community, getting killed in schools. That is tragic and sadly becoming a common thing.
I remember when I was a kid, I never heard of any such thing happening. I think our society has made some huge changes that have affect peoples minds, their thought processes and the lack of taking ownership for their behavior.
In a nutshell, people have lost what I was taught as a child, morals, respect have integrity. We respected our elders, teachers, other parents, older siblings, people of authority, etc. We brought up children as a community. Parents, grandparents, teachers, church community and the neighborhood community. Kids were taken care of and we knew we had people that cared about us if our parents were absent.
Now no one wants to get involved because they will probably get more in trouble than if they had stayed out of it. So children are falling through the cracks. They have no one to go to any more. Many teacher want to be "Friends" now and not a person of authority so that does not help.
It takes one good action that you do for a kid to effect their lives forever. You might never know it, but that kid will remember it. I know I had one person do that for me. She changed my belief in something and I remember her to this day. One bad action could harm a child for life as well. It takes one comment from a person to make a kid feel that he does not matter and once that is in him, it will stay for a while unless he learns to dismiss it. Enough of my thoughts.
