such a sad comentary of our livesa t this time, with all the advancements and technology, has also come, freedom of thoughts, and attitudes, and the rights (of few) to feel justified in shooting others.
while i completely support the right to carry arms, i do NOT condone the use without reason.
this kinda thing, shootings is becoming more and more common, so much so ive had 2 here outside my home last year, alone.
as we advance towards a higher and higher technology, we will also have more and more conflict.
no where, anymore is.."safe".
