Many Americans claim that their Constitution gives them the right to own and openly carry firearms. Most states have struck down limitations on gun ownership, but not one single state has provided for a balanced level of legal responsibility that gun ownership entails.

We need to reframe the debate about gun control. Every mother and father in America needs to stand up and say gun control laws need to protect our children, not " interest groups".

As a teacher for 21 years I am brokenhearted for the kids and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. We are loosing too many lives due to LACK of SECURITY. Its time to take ACTION to protect our children and their teachers.

Gun technology has not changed in 100 years. The gun trigger and firing mechanisms in personal weapons are essentially the same as invented in the 1900's. Today we need safer weapons that utilize modern computer technology. The government needs to sponsor a technology competition to develop them. The answer is to utilize GPS navigation technology so that general issue weapons will only work in open spaces using electronic trigger systems and electronic rounds. If the gun cannot sense GPS information, the electronic trigger will not operate and the electronic rounds will not fire. This will allow sale of weapons and electronic rounds to sports people and general users without restriction. Persons wanting to purchase weapons that work indoors will need to pass rigorous background checks. Similarly persons wanting to purchase old percussion ammunitions will need special permits and those munitions will not be available for general retail sale. This will allow people in public places indoors to be protected automatically while allowing legitmate gun sports to continue in line with peoples constitutional rights.

After the horrific tragedy in Newtown, CT, I realized that we as parents need to come together and make sure our innocent children and their teachers are safer at school.

"We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years...As a country, we have been through this too many times...And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." President Obama’s remarks on the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on 12/14/12. It's time for the people to clarify that the Second Amendment only guarantees the right of the people to bear arms in a "well regulated militia", and that mere individuals are not a "well regulated militia".

I am ashamed and horrified by the recent slaughters in Oregon, Connecticut, and Colorado.

We should start with better background checks. No loopholes. This latest shooter had his arms legally. This is why a total ban would really change things.

The entire country is in mourning because semi-automatic weapons were used to gun down many innocent people in a matter of seconds at the elementary school in Newtown, CT. The general public does not need these types of weapons to defend themselves or for hunting. At least pulling the trigger each time you want to fire a weapon might just save lives by giving others a chance to run or take cover. So people, are you with me on this?

HSBC has been busted for having dealt with Al Qieda and other terrorist groups. They have helped to launder BILLIONS of dollars for drug cartels and terrorist organizations. They were responsible for a wire transfer to one of the terrorists just DAYS before 9/11/01. Its hard to know we live in a world where people who commit such horrific acts as dealing with the scum of the earth can simply walk free with no punishment... But that's where you live, unless we do something about it. HSBC "Failed to monitor of 60 TRILLION DOLLARS of wire transfers and bank account activities". The executives for this bank have gotten off with a very harsh... No Punishment!!?!!?! The US says basically they are to big to fail, and that prosecuting them could affect their licensing in the US which would affect the entire financial market, essentially giving a completely free pass to bankers at the top to break any laws as many times as desired as they are "To Big To Fail OR Jail!!!!"

We have all been affected by the recent and growing absurdity of the proliferation of guns that can be obtained by even the deranged among us. Schools and places where children and other innocent by-standers can be easily targeted must be better protected.

Ask Congress and the White House to Amend the Constitution to outlaw the sale importation and ownership of forms of Assault weapons.
