As you have no doubt have heard last week there has been yet another shooting in a school in Connecticut, another one in a long line of massacres that keep happening in school all over the US. This was one of the worst shootings with 20 kids and 6 of their teachers dead.The full article can be found here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ What I wanted to discuss here are the measures that should be taken to prevent future tragedies like this. I remember that after the Virginia Tech shooting (which was the worst in history) there has been a pale debate whether firearms should be banned or not. And I think such a discussion should be taken more seriously. I am not an American - probably that is why I cannot understand, no matter how much I try, why it is so hard to pass a bill banning firearms. I know that a gun for every person is a part of the American way of life, but it seems there are bigger issues... It seems all kinds of insane people can easily get a gun in there hand. I know my country is no where near as large as the US, but we have never heard of a school shooting. And I have never heard of a mobster doing the shooting. There are always normal individuals with deeply disturbed minds.It seems this time too there is going to be a discussion concerning firearms ban, (an article here: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/dec/17/nation/la-na-shooting-obama-gun-control-20121218) but as always the gun lobbyists seem to have the upper edge. What do you thinK? Should firearms be better regulated?
