There seems to be that mentality again that gun's just go off and start killing people all on their own for no reason again. Clearly children will be put at risk because gun's will begin to hover around the gun store eagerly awaiting for school to release.
"I really don't really agree with guns at all. But I guess there are people who like guns or use them. I don't feel they are very good," said a mom.
It makes me cringe every single time I see or hear someone quoted saying something like this. Anything that is at all loosely tied to the thought that we don't need protection, she's probably counting on police to take care of any situation before it results in death of severe injury. And 9 times out of 10 it seems you can take that same general idea and basically apply it to "I don't need to X because the government will take care of it".
I read about and watch shows regarding how far reaching the government in the U.K. is today, and watch citizens being interviewed and most of the time if you get a slight inkling of disapproval from an ordinary citizen - it's immediately followed up by some justification for why whatever government program/system/requirement is in place that's in question. It REALLY make me wonder how much further down the rabbit hole places like the U.K. will continue to spin, and what the public will think about it if they continue to allow it to happen.
