i still think its horribly sad/ironic that everyone feels they need guns to protect them from others with guns. how many guns bought for self defense have been used in a moment of rage? how many kids died trying to be a big boy playing with daddy's gun? how many people wouldd still be here today, if not for some loser who wants to take out as many people as he can before he does himself in? the thing about guns is that it takes no real forethough. even building a bomb takes time, requires materials not always so easy to get, etc. if you have a gun, you just need to pick it up, load and shoot.

also more people being armed most likely would of done nothing. how many times has a gunman been taken out who is shooting in a crowd of people? while im sure there have been, i can't think of a single one. people are thinking more about their own survival rather than being the hero, especially if you don't even know who is doing the shooting, if its being done from a distance, point blank, if the guy is right next to you or what..

if guns have absolutely nothing to do with it, america should start looking at itself because its breeding a helluva lot of killers.
