After the craigslist gun post yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about guns. To try and catch more eyes, I will start a new post. One of the main reasons I am so in favour of gun restrictions is because when I was a teen, someone I knew was killed by gun violence. He was not armed. He was only sixteen. He was in my homeroom everyday until one day...he wasn't. We were not the best of friends but knew each other and I did know his best friend much better than I knew him and saw the changes his death caused.

So, has anyone else been affected by gun violence directly or indirectly?



I hope this thread can remain as civil a conversation as the previous one.
