Despite Newtown, Aurora, Virginia Tech, and Columbine, gun owner’s rights are more important than lives in America. That fact is supported by the lack of control legislation from our congress.
Claire Davis, 17, was in critical condition after being shot at point-blank range at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13. She died Saturday afternoon. The killer was 18 year old Karl Pierson. He had legally purchased his shotgun at a local store a week before the shooting and bought the ammunition the day of the shooting. Anyone 18 and older is allowed to buy a shotgun in Colorado.
