DISARM THEM ALL!

I'll write it down again, in suitably large lettering:

DISARM THEM ALL!

How many more innocent people, schoolchildren, students, anyone, need to be murdered before the world's leaders realise that there is no place for firearms in a civilised world? Today the gun lobbyists have contributed to another massacre of innocents; this time it's a vocational school in (normally calm and non-violent) Finland.

I've said it before, and I'll never stop saying it, unless a miracle were to happen and a worldwide ban on firearms came into effect (dream on...): it's immoral to manufacture an implement whose only function is to kill a fellow human.

Gun lobbyists, please go to hell. We are sick and tired of watching people die for the sake of your bank accounts.
