Technically, the people selling him the gun just didn't follow the current laws.
I'm for gun control, but I think we should work on enforcing the laws we already have before loading on new ones that won't be followed either.

ya, you make a good point. and i agree, we should work on strengthing laws we already have and make shue that we can get them to work before trying something else...which is pretty much restating what you said, but whatever...

You have to admit that if everyone owned a gun, people would learn to be more polite and respectful in a hurry. Wouldn't you if you had a gun, but knew that the person sitting right beside you did also? You also have to admit that if someone really wants to kill someone else, all that is required is knowledge of the human body and your hands. Guns are not dangerous. Humans wilth intent to cause harm are dangerous and a gun increases that danger very little.

ya i agree, we really dont need weapons to hurt each other. that being said, i still wish we could strenghten the laws that protect us. i mean, we really dont want a vigianty out on a personal vendetta, do we? im thinking strongly of death note, think about if someting like that happened. they may start off with good intentions, but where do we draw the line?

All I can say on the subject can be found in the book "Men At Arms."

It's a very funny book... but slightly disturbing in that the guns take over people's minds and kill people.
Oh, and in the words of a character played by Terrence Mann, "A gun kills many men before it's done; some before you even shoot the gun."

The character is Leon Czolgosz from Assassins, and the lyrics are...
"A gun kills many men before it's done. Hundreds... Long before you shoot the gun. Men in the mines and in the steel mills, men at machines, who died for what? Something to buy: a watch, a shoe, a gun, something to make the bosses richer, but a gun kills many men before it's done. Just one more."
*is nerd*

Hooray for the guy with the silly name who tried to kill William McKinley! (I just forgot the lyrics...) Anyway, that song reminds me of "Men At Arms."

I just had to point that out, since I did a report on Czolgosz in seventh grade, and was happy when I found out that Terrence Mann played him. Also, the song is catchy. I probably got the lyrics wrong too, actually. That's just what I remember them sounding like.
Czolgosz. Czolgosz Czolgosz Czolgosz. It's a fun name.

Yeah, I remember your report on him! That's actually the only reason I know he tried to assassinate McKinley... and I've always been obsessed with US presidents. OH DEAR. I just realized you spelled 'counterpoint' wrong under your avatar!
