Civil Rights

Like the rest of the country...I've been deeply disturbed by what happened at Northen Illinois University on February 14th.

Once again, a lone gunman, who purchased legal firearms, from legitimate sources under the full auspices of a law-abiding citizen, snapped and killed a bunch of people.

Whether or not the same could be said of the Virginia Tech looney is up for debate. HE certainly purchased his stuff through legal channels...the problem is that the State of Virginia probably should not have allowed his purchases to be legal in the first place.

I've SEEN people snap. Perfectly good, normal people have completely come apart right before my very eyes on more occasions than I can count. I wonder what the outcome of these oh-so-many painful experiences would've been had there been a gun present.

Everyone, at some point in his/her life comes close to crossing the sane line.
