There are so many times I see people speaking of their different opinions, and in some cases when I couldn't possibly be any more in disagreement, I can understand the opinion and why they feel that way. With this though, I simply don't.

CU, one of your earlier posts was all about your responsibility as a man/husband/father to protect your family. You have weapons at many entrances of your house to aid in providing that level of protection. But you simply can't protect them all the time, and none of us can. Your wife and your children will go to school, to work, to the movies, to the mall, to a concert, etc and as husbands and fathers, all we want is for them to come home, hopefully with a smile on their face.

I simply do not believe that if, god forbid, your wife or children ever found themselves in one of these awful, horrifying situations when you were not with them, that your stance wouldn't change. I'm sorry, I just don't. I can't imagine any father hearing the news that there was a shooting at their child's school, racing down to the school not knowing what the fuck is going on, and having your thankfully healthy child run into your arms with tears pouring down their face after the experience they just went through, and your thought afterward is "eh, the status quo is just fine".

I truly, honestly hope I never find out that I was right.
