Boy, I don't want to get into this arguement, but Gun Control is a big issue with me.
Outlawing guns will do nothing to lower crime. The 93% stat is pure BS. I have to take a suicide prevention class every year for my job, and guns are used more by males because men are more likely to use a more permanent method than women. Women tend to use pills and stuff like that. Maybe 93% of males use guns, but I don't have any stats to say otherwise.
You say cars are not an issue, since kids don't use them? The kids that sniped the schoolyard last year stole a van to drive their stolen guns to the school. Should we outlaw vans?
Also, take away guns, and sick people will still kill. Tim McVeigh killed something like 168 people with common items found in any feed store. The Littleton murderers had built propane tank bombs. I would imagine if they did not have guns, they would have spent more time perfecting their bombs, and a lot more people would be dead. My point is this...we have a problem in the US, and it not guns. Some countries (Switzerland for exmaple), the men are issued full auto assualt rifles to keep at their homes! Imagine the brutality that reign supreme there!!! But, stangley enough, all is well. It is something fundamentally wrong with the people in the US, and no amount of laws will change the mind of criminal. We have changed over the past fifty years, so much that there is probably no turning back. It used to be a father could work, and the mother stay home and take care of the kids, providing a role model and help. Parents knew where their kids were.
Today, both parents works, kids rape other kids at the age of 10, steal guns, rob stores. Hell, I heard a report on the radio about a 12 year old boy raping a grown woman in front of her kids. He held her at gun point with a toy gun. That is not normal, my friend. If the Liberals want to blame it all on right wing propaganda, you had better get better locks for you doors. Our country will go further down the path of self destruction. We are so wrapped around our economy that we aren't stopping to look at what the price of such an economy is...it's our kids.
