Everything in life comes with restrictions if we are going to live in a civilized society. Since our kids are dying from being killed at school it is common sense that the laws we have are not working. We need more protection. If I had grandchildren I would be afraid to see them go to school which is pretty sad. You don't want your rights restricted but what about the rights of all those kids who will never grow up because the adults can't make common sense decisions? IL: people do change their opinions when it hits close to home. Many anti-death penalty people start singing a different tune once their loved one is murdered. You don't have kids but the love you have for your child or grandchild is like no other love you will ever experience. You do not love another person on the planet the way you love your very own child. It is hard to explain if you have not experienced it.
I think law gets confused with protection. Dueling and lynching went on long after they were outlawed.
