Attacks on Children

Whilst 20 children were gunned down in Connecticut, 22 children were also stabbed in Chenpeng Village Primary School in the Henan province. Thankfully none were killed, but some have apparently lost fingers and ears.

If we take away guns, do we also need to take away knives? I suspect then that such people will turn to using explosives, poisons and improvised weapons.

It's very disturbing in general that innocent children are being targeted. Perhaps that is the key question to answer, when we begin to search for answers. Although, I think the Boomtown Rats provided one possible answer to that riddle long ago:

And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die?
