the nature of violence is well taken and a big part of our problem. I can't personally imagine your experience with domestic violence but that is one semi bright spot in the carnage. More than a dozen states have passed laws taking guns away from domestic abusers. It's kind of hard to defend providing guns to wife beaters.

All that said, on December 14, 2012 a man in Japan took a Katana (sword) into an elementary school and slashed and hacked 20 children. They all survived. How different than Sandy Hook. Sometimes it is the tool.

Thank you for the commentary and a chance to expand on the issue of violence, gun and otherwise.
