Okay, back to guns, is it? Well, I guess it is a sad fact that we can never seem to go more than a month before a kid shoots up homeroom. Hmmm, okay, I agree that less guns would mean less killing. I think that banning guns would take guns out of minor's hands...perhaps. But what about criminals? Don't you think that criminals will still get guns somehow? Shit, by making something illegal, you are practically inviting criminals to usher in a new black market product. This time it will be the gun. When Prohibition was insituted, what happened? Criminals offered booze. Who offers illegal drugs today? And despite all of the War on Drugs crap, do we or do we not still have drugs all over the country? Yes. So thus if guns are "banned", by that I mean not sold to ANYONE through legal channels, we will have lots of criminals with guns and no citizens with guns. Okay, little Johnny won't have access to Dad's guns cause Dad can't have them, but what about when Dad really needs one to possibly fend off the thug busting down the front door? Yeah, I am big believer in the right to privacy and home defense. I may not really think that we will need guns to keep the government in check, BUT I do believe in the right to bock before I get bock, see what I mean? So I think that yes, barring citizens of American from owning guns might stop minors from getting guns, but I think that we should all remember the fact that they are not the only ones killing innocent people. I think that there are still more adults shooting and killing than kids in schools.
