I'll sign this when I get on my own computer at home. Guns kill people like spoons make people fat. It's people who are responsible, not inanimate objects. There will always be nutcase violent people in this world. Ban guns, knives, axes, what have you, and only the bad guys will have them, making the law-abiding citizens sitting ducks. The fallacy that everybody is a "good person" has gone too far. There are evil people in this world, and regulations and laws mean nothing to them. In this case, the mother was reckless in that she did not have her firearms secured in a safe as they should have been. But, that said, the wacko who did the crime would most certainly have found another way to carry out his killing spree. In many cases, there is simply no way to predict and head off the homicidal behavior of a lunatic before the act takes place. It's a sad fact of life, and gun control won't help a bit.
