A bunch more people died in KC from gunshots this weekend.

I can hardly stand to read the paper anymore. Get mad at someone for just about anything? Just pull out your gun and shoot them.

People have just got to start taking personal responsibility for safety. Nothing else is going to work. There are too many guns out there for any kind of government programs to work.

One man accidently shot a friend at a super bowl party. He was a felon and is now facing 21 years in jail. A four year old got ahold of his father's gun and shot himself. He will live. More young black and hispanc males died from gang banger stuff that never seems to stop in the east part of KC. One women was shot dead after a road rage incident.

It's just a mess. Every morning the list of gun incidents is so depressing.

It's like people don't think guns are dangerous - until after someone gets shot or killed. And then they always say they didn't think the gun was loaded or they didn't think there was a round in the chamber.

You have to take a test to drive a car. Isn't there some way to make people take gun safety classes. You would have to have a certificate before you can purchase a gun?
