| Hi Finedreams, Do you think the responsibility should lie with legislature or with the boy's parents? I'm so torn on this. 1. I feel that no child should be around semi-automatic weapons. But 2. my parents were around shotguns, etc. their entire lives and none of their friends or family ever were injured from those guns. What changed? I'm really puzzled. |
