Quoted from Mean_Mr_Mustard

Why get rid of the instrument, you have to get rid of the true cause of the problem.

The true cause of the problem is the human being.

If the human being is the problem then people killing people dosnt matter because they are only killing the problem. :p

If you put a gun in someone's hands, they are more likely to kill you than if they hadn't had a gun.

If someone is going to kill you they will do it no matter what with anything. When my dad uses a gun to hunt and he comes home is he more likley to kill me then when he comes home without the gun?

In a way, yes.

People are more likely to kill out of passion with a gun. it's a proven fact. it's much easier than sticking a knive through a person. There's less apprention. Hunting guns are very different than guns SPECiFICALLY made to use on a person. Protection or not, it's not necessary. Most gun shootings happen by accident in homes with guns. kids playing, and quarrel, a mistake when someone thinks a member of the family is an intruder and so on. Even road rage which just happened around here. No one needs some automatic 48 or whatever these things are called. It's ridiculous. Look how well other countries function without them. This whole right to bear arms from the constitution is a very WEAK argument because of how the times have changed. I think our forefathers would be appalled if they saw what was going on.

You know, I watched Bowling For Columbine and I was appalled at the statistics given. Was it like 11,500something deaths by gun a year in the US compared with 260 in Canada and 50 or so in Japan. That's crazy. In Scotland, I'm told, they have very strict gun laws and not even the police carry them all of the time.
Sandra is right. It is much easier to just point and shoot in a fit of rage than to club someone over the head or something.
I hate guns. I don't think anyone should have such a powerful thing in their hands. You could end a life, just like that, in an instant.

In Europe is very strange that thing you call...ehm...gun?   Is that 'thing' so essential for living (?) out of here?   I'm not up-to-date, you see.

Eeesh. I meant KNIFE and APPREHENSION up there. For some reason I couldn't edit and those idiot mistakes were bugging me.

Oh, the time I've posted was only a reference, of course your time is yours (don't worry, I'm not going to rob you,.. not today)  

Whoever invented the gun should have been shot. :3

There's an episode of the Simpsons where Otto trades urine samples with Homer, and Burns is listing off drugs -- "yellow submarines" is one of them. "With trace amounts of... eurgh... human urine!"

I was watching this animated show called Hey Joel, about a guy who has a talk show on VH1. In the episode, he was in danger of being fired and had to tape an interview to prove that he deserved his job. He got his friend to pretend to be John. It was really funny.

"So, tell us about your relationship with Brian Epstien."
"Well, he was the first adult who really understood us as artists, y'know..."
"No no no. I mean your reLATIONship with him."
"What?"
"You know, those vacations together. Long train rides. The steady, sensual sound of the train moving along the tracks. Click, chung, click, chung..."
