RE: Constitution Bypassed in Illinois. US Citizens Given 60 Days To Turn In Guns Or Face Being Criminals. Mayor Swayed by High School Students.

This is poor decision. Exactly the opposite of what needs to happen. Since when do teenagers have the experience and knowledge to dictate laws? (No offense to younger folks, but they have much yet to learn).

Gun violence at schools is a symptom, not the problem. What really needs to be addressed is the underlying school bullying, shunning, rejection, lack of nurturing, and lack of education for emotional intelligence.

Once the guns are gone, (and they won't EVER be). The poorly treated and mentally ill folks that are driven to acting out in violence will just turn to knives, poison, or other methods if the underlying REAL problems are not addressed.
