Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 If there weren't any guns, they'd find another way. I think people just need something to blame and they think if they get rid of guns, this violence will simply stop. It begins at home. Something is wrong with these kids & /or their parents.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 How? A knife? Knives are messy. They require work.. you're up close and personal, and you tend go get lots of blood on you. If nothing else, they are much slower - you cannot kill someone from a distance. With guns, you can keep a more comfortable, less viewable, distance... almost like a video game, like all kids play. I can think of no other readily available thing that is so instantaneously deadly. An immature kid with a grudge, can do extreme damage in seconds. Adults do the same thing every day - there really isn't much difference. There is no rewind button, no second chance. This is a good thing to have? I grew up in a household with guns - I didn't kill anyone, so I can't totally disagree with you - something else is wrong. In that case, call gun removable a bandaid if you like. But band-aids stop many people from bleeding. I apologize to the group for this being extremely off-topic. I won't continue with it. Blessings all..

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Get rid of all the guns? Will that solve the problem? For those of you who think that, I'm terribly sorry but you are sadly mistaken. Weapons don't kill people, people kill people!! In places that have outlawed guns in the past, home invasion crime rates have spiked 40% or more within a few months. My dear friends, guns are not the problem. And for the most part, outlawing guns only removes them from the hands of law abiding citizens, not the criminal elements. Yes, children have got their hands on a parents guns,but the fault of that does not lye with the gun. So...what do we as a socitiy do? We must treat the problem, not the symptom. -Revan Åmandala <mi5anthr0pe Thursday, October 11, 2007 2:55:41 PM OT Visions If there weren't any guns, they'd find another way.
