I've been thinking that the only gun one should be allowed to carry is a musket.

Ella wore her little Virginia Tech shirt to school today even though she didn't know why. Some children in her class know what happened, and one even saw the photographs of the shooter with his guns. That kind of parenting verges on negligence in my book. If Ella asks us a question about the shootings, I'll certainly tell her the truth, but so far she is blissfully ignorant.
