I read about a study many years ago in the prison system. The prisoners were asked why they had committed their crimes and the overwhelming answer was that they felt they had nothing to believe in and nothing to hope for so in essence they felt they had nothing to lose. I am not a gun advocate, I don't have one and I don't want one but don't think gun regulation is the solution. Nobody is going to convince me that walking into Walmart and killing innocent people is a sane act.
