I'm sure I speak for all of my fellow Americans (Real Americans, not the haters spoken of above), when I say that Our hearts & prayers go out to the people who suffered for this latest (and any of the other) tragedies.
However, We must not loose sight of the fact that the monster that did this, did what he did because of the very "Peaceful" nature/culture Of the Amish. This + the psychotic ramblings of his sick mind spelled the doom of those poor children.
In this day and age, anyone who relies on law enforcement, the government, or existing laws to protect themselves is living in a Dreamworld!
This animal knew he had nothing to fear upon entering that schoolhouse. He would not be challenged, stopped or interfered with in any way. He Knew that he could do whatever he wanted..for as long as he wanted to. Only someone witnessing his actions brought Police action.....upon learning of this he shot the children, then himself. He (In My Opinion) was planing on abusing them for allot longer, but his plans were interrupted. Choosing the way "Out" of the coward (Like he was) he decided to "Take a few with him on the way out."
What can we All learn form something like this?
(1.) Pacifism isn't the answer, Arm Yourself. Learn how to defend yourself. Teach those you love how to, too!
(2.) Don't rely on "Others" to protect you & Your's. The supreme Court has ruled that the Police are not responsible for your safety!
(3.) Support the RTKBA (Right to Keep & Bear Arms) fight at the Local, State, and Federal levels.
(4.) Practice!, Practice!, Practice! All the hardware in the world is no good, if you can't use it!
