O/T feel sick inside - CT Elementary shooting

[bbcarddan]

Ok one thing is certain this nation will never be in agreement on gun control this is a fact! So to argue over it is pointless to me.
In my opinion what resposible gun owners can and should do is always keep their firearms locked and secured. I know some will say they keep a gun unsecured and at the ready for home defense. I can actually understand that reason though I don`t necessarilly agree with it, but ask yourself do I need "all" my guns readilly accesible?
The details of this tragedy are starting to emerge and it sounds as if the weapons were the gunmans mothers, I am wondering how were they secured? Were they really his and in her name to keep it legal?
If it were me guns and ammo are locked and stored separatly and not easy to gain access to. If someone lives in your home who has mental issues remove the guns from your home why give someone who is not thinking clearly access to guns?If it was too difficult to get at the guns maybe this tragedy never happens! I feel gun owners can never be too carefull when it comes to securing weapons in the home it wont stop all of these psycopaths such as the killer in Aurora but it may have prevented this one!
I own one .22 rifle that I inherited from my father it`s old as the hills and I rarely have shot it. I keep it in my home with the bolt action removed,any bullitts are kept at one end of the house in a locked box the bolt acton in another location and the rifle itself in another only I know where they are located not my kids! Since it is my only firearm and I am not really into guns I do not have a gun cabinet to store it in but to actually use it will take a bit of doing in it`s current state it is about as deadly as a baseball bat which by the way is my preferred weapon of home protection!
