While I do consider myself conservative on most things…..gun control is not one of them. When my sons were young, my ex went to work early so she could be home when the kids came home and I left late. For two years I got the joy of walking my kindergartner and first grade to school. They would hold my hands when we crossed by the crossing guard. They enjoyed school on most days. We would have lively chats along the way. If I had delivered my boys to school one day and within hours one of them was killed by a gunman…..I would not be here today. I would have been crushed. I do not buy the argument that guns are not a cause of this. Guns and their ease of use ARE the reason someone can gun down 20+ people in a minute or two. I am guessing that ANYONE who has not been affected by this never had the opportunity to walk their young child to school.
