Description I attended the Waukeshau gunshow today to sell off some guns no longer wanted and to get badly needed money.

Unfortunately this started the day after the Sandy Hook school shootings. And there were numerous protesters outside the main entrance all screaming at anybody walking in. Those with guns were especially targeted for their wraith.

One woman actually said this to me as I walked towards the entrance, and yes, I actually said this.

Sadly I also didn't sell the guns I brought, only sharks offering a quarter the value were asking, wanting bargains so they could clean up.

On Sandy Hook School....as a parent I was utterly stunned at what happened. And that this country seriously needs to address mental health issues in a big way.

And even if you were to magically ban all guns tomorrow, actions of mass killing will still happen by nutcases using other means possible.

I hate to say it.

I also had to quickly scribble this up.

The solution to the problem is not to ban guns, but to ban public schools, no public schools=no public school shootings. Spare your kids an early grave and homeschool them.

The recent mass killing at a school in China didn't even involve guns. The killer just used a knife instead of a gun.

Perhaps not at whatever incident you're thinking about, but there have been several mass murders at Chinese schools where no guns were involved and the killer used a knife

Got that, thanx

I may have heard about that if that school shooting wasn't dominating the headlines

Yeah it's kind of sad how things get overrun in the news sometimes.

Terrible event that was. But this is America and people will exercise the freedom of speech and assembly. No matter how uneducated or close minded. The woman was probably in shock still and tried to find the closest excuse, to your unfortunate incident.
