Australia AND New Zealand HAD a similar problem to the one the US has now. They attacked the gun problem directly by Australia's MELTING DOWN all semi-automatic rifles. Since then they have had only ONE mass murder in about 10 years. That is PROOF POSITIVE that something can be done. Children in Australia and New Zealand do NOT have to fear simply going to school - or adults going to church - or to a square to listen to music and dance. ........ Also, US mass murders are only 2% of the deaths due to guns. The rest is individual murders and suicides! ..........I am in favor of the 2nd amendment and having gun ownership for home protection, shooting targets, and hunting. I am NOT in favor of semi-automatic rifles that the NRA and the gun manufacturers PREFER because of high mark-up and profits paid for by the blood of children. Let's return to the 1950s when guns were for hunting game and NOT HUNTING PEOPLE !!!!!!! |

INSANITY? The definition of insanity is harmful to yourself or others. Your neighbor sprays insecticide on a tree. Are they INSANE? Antigun? Acceptance of law by RIOT. Lack of police support. Gun sales have skyrocketed. The fact is there is a very small percentage of our population that commit violent crimes. It was proposed three strikes and you are out but it never happened. Our legal system, innocent until proven guilty. Hum 3x and your out and accepting it is a crime for anyone to suggest you MIGHT commit a crime. IMAGINE. |

Throughout the WHOLE world, children play the SAME kind of violent video games. The UK, Germany, and all other countries have an INSIGNIFICANT amount of gun violence compared to the US which is, BY FAR, # 1 . Also mental health is nearly constant throughout the world, so not really a factor! The differentiating factor is that the AVAILABILITY OF GUNS in the US is sssssoooo much greater.

I was born in 1950. We have 16mm movies of a family picnic I will guess around 1955. We never had a 16mm projector so I had no way to see them. I had them transferred to DVD. Due to my parents yelling at me about littering, I remembered the streets were clean in the OLD DAYS. The movies show clearly that was not true. Typical park equipment. Today child protection services , which did not exist, would toss parents into jail and put kids into foster care for allowing kids to play on that stuff. Movies showed I was having a blast. This post shows it did not kill us. Oh and my did was a WWII COMBAT VET. We were poorer than is provided, today by the public dole. UNFAIR-I was taught, right and wrong. I was taught you work for what you need. I was taught there is a difference between what you need and what you want. What is wrong now is what we have allowed to be. |

"Let's return to the 1950s when guns were for hunting game and NOT HUNTING PEOPLE !!!!!!!"
The ethics and values of the 1950s were what prevented people then from what they are doing now. Guns were just as available then. Actually much more so: if you were over 18, in Minnesota at least, you could buy a gun. Or guns. My dad had a collection of well over 50 when he died. But if we EVER had school shootings back then, we certainly didn't hear about it. We don't have a gun problem. We have a people problem. Fix the PEOPLE and forget about demonizing guns: it is just a convenient way to avoid facing the real issues. |

Read the posts on any thread. A post where it says, I DID NOT REALIZE I AM WRONG BUT I SEE IT NOW. People in the villages are older, brighter, more educated and more prosperous than average. |

Our national addiction to guns, including assault rifles, is like a broken record. I am sick of the washed out debates and countless massacres, while congress does absolutely nothing. We all know what is the ONLY way this will change . . . elect a particular political party in enough numbers that will control Congress and finally bring sanity to this heartbroken country. Period.
