First my thoughts and prayers are with that young girls family and friends.
secondly, i agree...as a american citizen i would never give up my right to own a firearm, that's what the Second Amendment to our nations constitution is about. but when people talk about "banning" weapons or preventing regular citizens from carrying one i think people have to remember that good people carry guns too, because banning them won't stop the bad guys from getting a hold of them if they want one. but i'm all for gun control and education programs, whenever i handle a gun i think of my dad telling to treat it with alot of respect always handle a weapon like it's loaded....and i do.
