i get where you are coming from, but guns were probably used for self defence and hunting long before they became a tool for just killing people. there were battering rams long before cars were invented so i guess everything we use now has probably been modified from a weapon of some sort


not trying to disagree as such, but we do have fairly stringent gun laws and it seems that many of the guns used in planned cold blooded murders are not legal ones anyway. america seems to have a problem with gun ownership, but i think ours is close to right

i do agree with most of what you have said, but i don't think banning guns is the answer

and i apologise for this potentially being in bad taste, but if a whacko was going to take me out of the world, i would rather he use a gun - over a club, knife, blood filled syringe, car or virtually anything else
I totally understand what you're saying - in fact, most of those things have crossed my mind too, including the last bit. It's just frustrating that these tragedies happen all too often, and people wonder why? In a perfect world, there would be no gun deaths because there'd be no guns. But then I suppose stabbing or syringe deaths would just rise instead......
