    its not the gun...its the person behind it

    I'm 50 yrs old. As a kid, I got spanked, not sent to my room. for TIME OUT I did not get a prize just for finishing. I played Cowboys/indians with fake guns and not realistic video games. I was not ENTITLED to anything. Everyone wants to place blame... well why not blame those that said stop punishing kids. The EXPERTS that say coddle the kids not punish them. Who says that killer would not have driven his car loaded with gas cans into the building. Society needs to change and not blame the mechanism used. I had respect for my parents and for others!!!!!! I fear guns but I fear a person out to commit harm even more!!!!
