I don't think anyone would disagree with you. One life has no greater value than another. ..and a harsh sentence should be used in all crimes committed with any kind of weapon. But you also need to understand, that our police force is our first line of denfense. They are out in the open and an easy target. ... also bear in mind, the community needs to take some responibility too ... after all, these thugs are a product of the citizens emulating from these areas. They are not only a scourge on their own community, but also the surrounding communities. You can start by aiding the police in apprahending these animals, not harboring them. (not you personally, but you as a community)

TOUGH I SAY FRY THEM NOW NO JUGE NO JURROR LETS LIGHT UP THE CHRIUSTMAS GRAB SOME WINE AND HAVE A PARTY AND FRY HIS BUT

Each life is so precious, be it a policeman who protects and serves our community, a little girl playing outside in front of her door, the grandmother sitting on her porch, or the mother or father coming home from work. Yet, all those people I described have been struck by the mighty bullet. Innocent lives, brought to a complete halt. Why is this happening? GUNS. Like the old saying, guns don't kill people, people kill people. If these weapons are continuely made available to these thugs, more people will be wounded and or killed. Just as the law locks up these criminals who do these crimes, they NEED and HAVE to go after the person or persons who sell these guns. These people are just as guilty as the person who pulls the trigger. The policeman who lost his life was killed by an Chinese automatic weapon. You know, that thug did not go to a gun shop and purchase that weapon. He had to buy it black market. The people who sell these weapons on the blackmarket need to be found and brought to justice just as the thugs. We have to get these guns and these criminals off the streets.

dramamom2008, I never lost a child to firearms, but I do know people close to me who have. I am so sorry to hear about your dad though. The police today don't have a chance. Most of their injuries or deaths along with innocent civilians are caused by thugs who by these weapons on the black market. Something has GOT to be done about it. I believe if these weapons can be traced back to the person who sold them (imagine, these people buy and sell these guns illegally to thousands of people)this will cut crime drastically. At least it's a start.
I read in the newspaper that some colleges are considering students to carry handguns to school. Tell me, where are these lawmakers heads? Look at Florida. I just don't get it. Between the NRA and our government, I don't know which has lost their minds.
