    Oh yes, and I remember hearing that 30 years ago as well, and I do believe it will happen some day - although he climate change may ruin to earth before that.

    No doubt about it, they will! But I don't think that pointing a gun at them is the right way to tackle it. It would be better to educate people and make an effort to minimize the gap between rich and poor, because poverty is often the cause for people getting violent. When they have come to a point where they have nothing to lose ....

    While I’m aware that media can twist and bend facts, you have to admit that a lot of shootings have happened over the last few years in USA - and escalating in other countries too. So many innocent people/children have lost their lives. It might have been prevented if it wasn’t normal to own a gun. A gun can shoot many people, and although knives can too, it would take a lot longer. I’m not in favor of anyone carrying knives either, by the way!

    OK I believe that a background check is required, but it’s not worth much is it, since the agressive maniacs manage to get hold of guns anyway, one way or the other.

    Accidents such as this happen too, it is very sad!

    I would like to believe we can both free and safe! It is possible in some countries where guns are banned, you know!

    EXACTLY. Gun laws only effect the law abiding.

    Define 'free'. Hows your tax rate?
