“Canadians own guns, but they don’t shoot one another with them. We started as gun-blazing pioneers and cowboys. That was then; now we need to do better. We need leaders who support laws for stricter gun control. We need greater vigilance among parents and within communities to keep our kids safe and to limit their exposure to gratuitous violence. Graphic entertainment inoculates our kids to violence. It becomes horrifyingly OK to chop off someone’s head when it’s just make believe. And then, because none of this remediation will happen quickly or completely, we need to be lucky — lucky enough not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, like the victims of the Aurora shooting, or Columbine, or Virginia Tech, or Fort Hood — or 4-year-old Lloyd Morgan.” – Randi Kreiss (who says she’s OK with the Second Amendment) at liherald.com
