In response to ... posted by HeadZenCards:


I know, it would be a crazy idea... Maybe we should find that person huh?

Anyway... I had to bring this back up because I wanted to point out another 'massacre' type shooting took place.

Many of you know that in KC a man went on a small rampage, only killing 4, but he also had a significant amount of time to think over his decision. This again, likie most, was an example of how this man only started because he pseudo planned the event... granted he was an idiot.

Considering all things, if the world was VOID of guns then yes, less people may have been killed... in fact I'll straight say it... less people would have been killed in these cases (unless the mad man is sadistic enough to chase down small children and elderly people with a knife) ugh....

Anyway... so I agree, should the world not have guns then murders would be less, but we can not allow the only people to have access to guns be those with no reguard to life and those with the power to control the masses.

(BTW HZ I am making general statements not directly pointed towards you, just hate to make a second post)

A slave will generally stay in slavery until either a man with a weapon equal to the size of the Master is able to 'negotiate' power OR if the masses are willing to engage in mass attacks.

I think it is still best to allow the average citizen with no history of criminal history (violent, etc...) to own weapons designed for hand to hand combat. Bombs, tanks, jets and missles should be held by State militias not individuals.

I also think that Nuclear weapons are a crime upon human civilization. They should all be sent in a tragectory towards the sun, period.
