Re: Gun control discussions in the wake of the Newtown, CT deaths
I am not a American native but hope it's OK to write here anyway because these school shooting and
other public shooting have became an a issue for Finland too. 5 years ago when Pekka Eric Auvinen walk into
the high school with a gun and killed 9 people including himself, was a shock for my country. Nobody could ever
image something like this would happen in a small country as Finland. It was a lot talk about how to keep
gun safe from wrong people and should we get stricter gun law. But I don't think much was done since years after
that Matti Saari walk into the university where he study and shot 11 people including himself to death. I still think
we haven't get any good gun law here and gun goes to wrong people. The last big shooting was 2009 when a
man killed several people in a Mall in Vantaa. The gun man killed himself too.
My dad have couple of guns and he keep them behind locked door. Nobody of us have any business to those
guns except my dad. He have a weapon permit and use to go to range with some of his friends every now and then.
I've never liked guns and hopefully someday this shooting calm down or we get better control over guns.
I am so sorry to hear about your older brother Fush. Yes unfortunately the guns mostly goes to people who
have a mental issues and that's very sad because then outsiders have to suffer too sometimes.
Sorry to hear about your wife's sister too Scott.
