If the children or other family members will have access to the gun then they should be interrogated too.

We can also use teachers to enforce these rules, they can ask their students to be honest and if mommy and daddy are in violation of these rules.

All my shopping is done, but I'm certainly not going to stop doing anything because some psycho became unglued in public.

My parents were at Clackamas Town Center earlier yesterday, which is kind of weird to think about.

But no, it wont stop me from shopping.

...or shooting.

You're about 1000 times more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the mall than you are to be shot at the mall.

(just a rough back of the napkin type of calculation.)
