I truly do not understand how we can allow this to continue. You certainly mentioned many of the solutions in your post, and some of them are in progress. But in my mind, not nearly enough is being done to reduce/eliminate access to semi-assault rifles.<br /><br />I hope you have been able to enjoy your Easter and your blogging break.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490533253436208034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-50416047608386253012021-04-01T00:49:14.490-04:002021-04-01T00:49:14.490-04:00Such unbelievable sadness!

I think it must also be a scary time. I would be worried that it could happen to me or my family and friends. <br />It is a shame that banning guns is impossible in the States but surely something could be done about assault weapons and screening of buyers. We had a mass shooting in Tasmania in the 90's and our govt changed the gun laws. There was opposition but it was passed. Not many people own guns now only people with special permits like farmers and sports and police. But criminals get them illegally. This article explains how it happened.

How tragic, and what a blow to your family. I am so sorry to hear that, and to know that all those innocent people in Colorado died needlessly last week. Too many senseless killings because of guns. We need stricter gun control laws. Nobody needs semi-automatic weapons. I wish you a calm and peaceful Holy Week, Pat, and a blessed Easter for you and your family.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-12241085190366409422021-03-29T21:15:24.480-04:002021-03-29T21:15:24.480-04:00Oh dear Pat, this senseless tragedy is so heartbre...Oh dear Pat, this senseless tragedy is so heartbreaking. I will never understand the need for a human being needing to buy semi assault rifles. They should be banned! It is way past time to pass this legislation.

I feel honored that you would share this with us in the wake of such a terrible event. My oldest friend lives in Louisville and when I visit, we go to Boulder, which is a wonderful spot. It makes me terribly sad that now this place is also marked as yet another senseless tragedy. I do not understand why something like this -- or all the others before -- cannot change the minds of politicians to restrict guns.

We know many families in Boulder including a friend whose office is in that grocery store complex. A friend who works at our local Breckenridge grocery store said they are implementing some safety precautions. But, who is really safe when a person decides they want to kill random people? I just don't know the answer.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-14243981179372624372021-03-29T11:10:00.792-04:002021-03-29T11:10:00.792-04:00I have given up hope about reasonable gun control ...I have given up hope about reasonable gun control in this country.

I do not understand why people have to own an assault weapon, they should be illegal. Background check should be done each time a gun is sold. It is harder to get a drivers license than to buy a gun. My prayers go out to the victims and their families, the people of Colorado. Take care, have a happy day and a great week! Happy Easter to you and your family! <br /><br />eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.com
