The recently-locked discussion of the tragedy in Newtown.

[fotobass]

First, I am not interested in continuing the conversation here. I am not interested in circumventing the decision of the mods to lock it.

I am extremely interested in a reasonable discussion about weapons in the United States today. For those here who are on Facebook, I would like to invite you to a discussion about what, if anything, can or should be done to try and limit such tragic events. The group is available by clicking on http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/AReasonedConversationAboutGunLawsInAmerica

Just so everyone knows, I am moderating the discussion. All viewpoints are welcome and even encouraged, but I will delete comments that attack or insult individuals. Keep it respectful, and I'd love to have folks join in.

Bravo!!!! I'm very happy to see that you would take the time to discuss this nightmare of a problem. We'll get this thing fixed once and for all and it starts with what you and others are starting to do by talking about it. Unfortunately at times too late, but good for you anyway. I hope it spreads like wildfire.

Thank you very much for your efforts, greatly appreciated by just one citizen of many.

Mark
