This happened in my home town, so it's even more interesting than most. Another operator of a firearm has either misunderstood the Second Amendment or mistaken a children's football team for a band of invading terrorists ---

SAGINAW, Mich. - "Gunfire erupted during halftime at a middle school football game on Wednesday afternoon, wounding two teenagers and two adults, police said.
"The four were taken to hospitals for treatment, said police Lt. Brian Lipe.
"Lipe said one victim was shot in the neck, but he said he had no information on the other victims' conditions."
Police arrested a suspect, believed to be a high school student, and were seeking at least one other suspect, the officer said. "People should be able to go to a football game without having to worry about being the victim of a shooting," Police Chief Gerald H. Cliff told The Saginaw News.
The shootings took place at South Middle School during halftime of a game with Central Middle School. About 300 people were in attendance, the newspaper said.

I feel strongly about this issue and have been trying to think of something to say. But what can you say? The answer is obvious.
"The answer is obvious."
Really? Please share.
I may have misled Jim Thrill. The only answer I had in mind is that if gun ownership wasn't so prevalent and accepted in society than these incidents would not be happening on such a regular basis. The second amendment is ridiculously interpreted - no one should have the God-given right to own a semi-automatic handgun.
Your premise that prevalent, accepted gun ownership leads directly to a violent, murderous society is dubious and debatable.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's not as obvious to me as it is to you that banning semi-auto handguns is the solution.
