i think this would be gods answer.
Dear students:
i gave you more that enough opportunities to prevent this but you turned away. why do you always blame me when somehing wrong happens but praise your self when in good times. i gave you signs but you blinded yourselves. why don’t you listen to me? i cannot force you to do stuff cause i love you and respect your veiws and choices but you don’t respect me and my veiws. there are so many things you could have done but didn’t.

It means God is pretty weak if guns can get inside but he can’t figure out how.

Dear god,
You are not allowed in an Amish school?
LIAR! -me
Dear God, are you not everywhere anyway? So the government tells the students they can not have school sanctioned prayer, are you not in the hearts and minds of believers? Have you abandoned believers to the government of men? Dear God, how shameful. -me

The right answer would have been:
Dear Concerned Student:
Maybe you guys should have some form of gun control, or at least better mental health care facilities.
Why do you always ask Me to stop this? I’ve got important things to do you know - the universe doesn’t just run itself. Quite frankly, I’m getting a bit peeved that you guys are blaming everything on me - you made this mess, you fix it.
Or better yet, actually understand what I was trying to tell you through Jesus - The road to happiness is through love & charity. If you guys actually lived that, the above wouldn’t have happened.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go fix the whole "Hawking Paradox" thing.
God

I cannot begin to say why God allowed these things to happen in our schools- but one thing I can say- just because public prayer has been "eliminated" that does not mean Christian students cannot pray- Allowing these things to happen, I know that He must have, or He could have stopped them- how about instead of this old email- why doesn’t someone share the story of Cassie- who was asked, at Littleton Colorado- if she believed in Jesus- and when she said, yes, the gunman shot her. That is standing up for your faith in a public school, don’t you think? I do not think we will ever know the reason why God allows suffering, however I can say- that God is there- you just have to seek Him. He is not far away. I know some believe there can not be a loving God if things like this happen- but because of sin- it does, however, we have a Savior that paid the price for that. I send up my prayers and concerns for all that have lost loved ones in these school shootings.
