Shooting at NIU

Here's one that you'll definitely have an opinion on. The shooting at NIU was horrific and sadly it's becoming more and more common among young people and schools. It seems to be getting to a point where it's not shocking anymore because it's becoming so common. My heart goes out to all the families and friends who knew the victims. I don't believe stricter laws will help a whole lot because guns are easily available, even among young people. I think something needs to be done, not stricter laws on guns but mental health needs more attention in this country. Too many people are suffering from depression, mental illnesses, among other things. Study: U.S. Leads In Mental Illness, Lags in Treatment

If something is to be done to protect the people at school and work we can rest assured that it will probably included some of are freedoms taken away.
