You know, gun laws, or the lack of, probably have nothing to do with levels of violence. I dare say it is culturally driven. Guns just happen to be convenient. Many people with access to them have no respect for the weapon or what it means to use one. They also lack the self-discipline that usually comes with learning other ways of killing someone efficiently. Shooting the shit out of everything that moves, or doesn't, is glorified in our mass media, movies, TV, music.. black on black violence and gang related killings are glamorized in those cultural subsets.
We are an aggressive, self centered, entitled and reactionary culture. If you give some people like that the power over life and death that fits in the palm of their hand, they are going to misuse it. It's not the guns. It's the attitudes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:347539 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
