It's doubly sad that such young children are the victims, such a horrible day for the Country and mostly for those families that will never celebrate Christmas together ever again.

My Facebook response:

Like all parents and grandparents, I am horrified, outraged and heartbroken at the news of today’s senseless shooting spree. But unlike most people in this country, my view is a little different. You see I am a realist. I try to see the world as it is, not how it is advertised. Now we're gonna hear about how we need more gun control laws and how certain weapons should be made unlawful to own. I personally do not own a gun. However I believe it is the right of every red blooded American to own one. But here is the reality of owning a firearm. If you own a pitbull and that dog gets out of your yard and kills a neighbor's child YOU should be held responsible.... for the civil and criminal consequences. Gun ownership brings with it no less responsibility. The person who acquired, owned or registered the weapon used in this senseless tragedy is the responsible individual and should be prosecuted for the murder of 6 adults and 20 children. He or she is the one who failed to meet his/her obligations by failing to secure the weapon. He or she alone is the individual that allowed the pitbull to get loose and commit this unthinkable crime. I hear the rhetoric and the spin from the NRA and the Constitutional sabre rattlers about the right to own a firearm and frankly I agree. But it is the lack of acceptance of the responsibility that comes with that right that troubles me.

The registered owner of the firearms has already paid the ultimate price for their complicity in this tragedy.

This is the unthinkable. My wife has several years experience teaching kindergarten,and there is no way to be adequately prepard for something like this. I'm sympathetic to gun owners,being one myself, but I'm also a parent as well.This whole event underscores the absolute existance of the forces of evil.
It's not necessarily the gun that did it, it's the depraved tweaked little perverted mind that did it thats at fault.He could have used a baseball bat, a knife, an explosive device, whatever, but the cause of this whole thing was embedded deep into his sick mind. They won't be able to get that dark secret out now,since he's dead,never to kill again.It's a sad thing when most decent people need to keep a gun for personal protection.Let's face it, the law abiding gun owner and his weaponry never make the news, nobody has to hear about what doesn't happen.I will never surrender a firearm,either a home or personal defense gun,or a collectible, because I won't be left defenseless. Also, in the case of rare historical collectibles, I would never allow some liberal politician to confiscate for destruction those artifacts just to sooth his power and control trip driven by his political egomania.
I don't know why bad things happen to good people.If I discover this eternal secret, I'll write a book that will help a lot of good people understand life a lot better. A hundred years ago, when things were a lot more rural(not exactly more safe,however), a circuit riding preacher finished a week long series of meetings in a local church and was preparing to leave to go to his next assignment. He had finished a message telling his flock that nobody leaves this life until God is finished with them on earth. As he left, someone noticed a large revolver in a holster under his coat and asked him why he would ever need that. His response was classic-"I got this in case I meet some varmint whose time is up!".
