There are so many more factors to consider in mass murders
than just guns it’s unfair and unrealistic to focus on the one issue. Mass
slayings are not new to the US or the World and they are not isolated to
firearms. If a person intends to do
evil, he/she will find the means to do it.
No amount of laws will stop it.

The Bath School disaster is the name given
to three bombings in Bath Township,
Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school
children, two teachers, and four other adults; at least 58 people were injured.
The perpetrator first killed his wife, and committed suicide with his last
explosion. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age[1]) attending the Bath
Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in
United States history.

The government is not totally to blame
for their knee –jerk reactions when responding to tragedies… We citizens allow
the government to continually pile law upon law on our heads telling us it is
for our own good and safety and we swallow it as if we are little children
taking medicine from our parent when we are sick and they say it will make us
feel better.
We do not need the government to spoon
feed us medicine… we need to grow up and follow these ten rules for living….
And maybe if we can do that we stand a chance for the future:
Exodus 20:1-17
1 And God spoke all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought
thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them
that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy
God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in
vain.
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy
work:
10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the
LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy
days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house;
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.
