    I think those writers of the constitution thought long and hard about how things might have gone with King George if he'd cherry picked who could and couldn't have owned guns. I think they probably understood something we've never experienced in modern times, but not something that couldn't actually manifest itself.

    Haven't you heard, gardener? Those things that many women use to fend off rapists are actually nothing more than torture devices! Guess they'd better learn to use the nunchakas or something.

    If it's good enough for the Forest Service it's good enough for me. I'd love to zap some of those undertrained kiddie cops out there, screaming they are being threatened.

    Maybe we should all arm ourselves. Seems the government can destroy evidence. I think it's time we evened the playing field. They are not accountable why should we be?

    Yeah...just hope the little thief doesn't try to sue you in court after you shoot him in defense of your own children.

    You can't sue anyone if you're dead.

    I love guns. I'm also a big fan of peace. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

    And remember, guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities with guns do ;)

    Guns in the hands of children with a poor education are dangerous.Maybe it
    also could be cause and efect...Forinstance...
    The children involved with columbin.
    You remember when all the shootings first happend..The father of one was a gun owner and If I remember he was in some kind of millitary.According to every broadcaster across America that had to be the reason.It takes alot of anger to do something like that.People are angry for a reason.Or their nuts and if anyone is crazy enough to wake up and decide you wanna kill someone much less a couple dozen someones .Well Im sooory but the adults around him didnt notice something wasnt right? Even his parents? Chalking it up to one ignorant excuse isnt going to solve anything.Im sorry but someone wasnt doing thier job. In a time when our teenagers are creating more violence than anyone else in our country. Robberies happening around every corner.Men sneaking in your home to hurt your daughters and your wives .YOu wanna take peoples right to defend them selves..
    Sorry didnt mean to ramble on.. Its lack of concern and education to our children thats the problem..You cant taking peoples right to own a gun isnt going to fix the problem anymore than the prohibition on alcihol and the illigalization of pot..Your just going to have more guns to track because nun of them will be legal.

    A little more sense of community could go a long way toward preventing mental illness and violence. Cases like Columbine and the recent mall shooting in Omaha are a result of kids being alienated. Our competitive, self-centered, family lacking culture seems to promote this.

    Outlawing guns just means the only people that have them are criminals.

    I'll try and remember to go out to the back deck and squeeze off a few rounds on Saturday, in the spirit of this thing.

    And remember, guns don't kill people, dangerous Americans with iPods do.

    It's time we looked at our society. I think the state of our society is a bigger issue than global warming.

    Why are our children being brutalized by bullies, and having to succeed from birth in a society of competition? This to me is a far bigger threat to mankinds existence.

    One of my best friends is all about the I'm tougher than u act. It pisses me off because I know that at some point he'll say the wrong thing to the wrong person an' get a new ass where his face used to be. I agree, societal morals an' values are the biggest issue in America today. But it is not bigger than gobal warming. That affects the entire world. I mean seriously does the rest of the world give a shit if we destroy ourselves? No...

    Actually the two problems are not that much separated. Shitty society is the problem. Pollution is a consequence of it. Violence and crime is another consequence.

    By providing a better education to, more free, less competitive, less alienating, we'd end up with adults that have more sense and more respect, both for other humans and nature.

    I think we all agree that violence is a social problem that can't be entirely solved with laws... no baby is born a criminal. So how the hell do we clean up this mess?

    The only way to clean up the mess is to educate people to the alternatives. Stop playing the standard game. And some of those folks who need educated, won't listen. Some of them just aren't THINKERS. But really, it would seem it HAS to either start at home or in the school system for those who can't seem to get it done at home. We LEARN from our parents and surroundings. We need to be offered DIFFERENT things to learn.

    Riches would get a better education and the poor (the majority) would get a worse one. It would widen the gap between the rich and the poor even more and crime rates would probably rise. VERY BAD IDEA.

    Good point, privatization is the root of the problem because it segregates the community, resulting in resentment and alienation, the source of most violent crime.

    And remember, guns don't kill people, dangerous politicians with ties to oil money do.
