Its a sad day in America (by Briteeyes)
When our children need bullet proof book bags to go to school. They are flying off the shelf. Atlanta had a shooting today but thankfully no one was hurt and suspect surrendered. But to think a 5 year old needs a bullet proof book bag to go to school these days is absolutely heart breaking.
@Briteeyes: How draconian are the gun laws down there? I should probably see what Herman Cain has to say about that one later this morning.
Yep Im sure it all happened like that Just saying. . Glad noone was hurt. . But Im the crazy person, noone pay attention to the fool!
@Briteeyes: I think all schools should have trained officers and locks on the doors lol in Nashville some schools have metal detectors-Im all for it-but yes its sad it has come to this, tho I recall worrying about bein in a knife fight in high school and that was 25yrs ago..I think its availability of street guns-which I cannot fathom how to control with or without gun laws:(
@wa4: Anyone can have a gun as long as u have a license. But can easily get a gun off the street without a license. Some of our wal marts stopped selling guns and amo of any kind.

Even if there are gun laws it will put more guns in the hands of criminals. . And take them out the hands of law abiding citizens.
@IndianDreamer: In the next town over one of the high schools has metal detector and officers, but its cuz of the students bringing in weapons. My sons school has a guard that walks the hall way
@Briteeyes: Last year their were two groups of 'different ethnicities' who got into a fight @ high school here-they pulled out guns and knives-I kept my daughter outta school for a week-lots of parents did. My daughter saw the weapons-said they looked brand new...the oldest boy was 16:(
@IndianDreamer: Oh my gosh! Bless her heart. I would have been terrified. That's a lil to close to home. It would have been hard to let my kids return. Im sure it was tough of you and your girl. Horrible horrible situation
