Taking Guns Away From The Citizenry

Taking guns away from the citizenry is dangerous and would interfere with the pursuit of peace. Just because a deranged young man massacred children (with guns that did not belong to him), and with guns he had no permission to use at the time he used them is no reason to take guns away from responsible persons. I have used weapons, I am a former soldier. But I have never owned a weapon nor do I plan to own one. However, the suggested solutions that have been offered lately to prevent a massacre of this type from happening again are not acceptable if they involve the prohibition of gun ownership. Better security measures will provide greater safety in our schools.  Voluntary prayers are also very important.
