The thing that bothers me most about the free availablity of guns in the USA is that it
seems that people have got so used to gun crime it doesn't rate a mention anymore.
A few days ago 7 of your countrymen were shot and killed at work in Boston but it
doesn't
get mentioned here.(we mention all sorts of other NJC).
If the man was not able to buy the guns, he wouldn't have been able to do what he did.
It
would have been very difficult to go in to work and stab seven people to death.
If my memory serves me right, we have had two such massaacres here-Dunblane and
another in
the 80's. We have other murders and stabbings are common but only one at a time.
I really cannot understand why anyone should have the legal right to go into a shop and
buy a hand gun, let alone a machine gun! I cannot see how this has anything to do with
'human rights'. I think the right of people to be free of the constant threat of
gunfire
to be a greater right. the right of people not to be shot is greater than some fearful
demand that anyone should be allowed to own a gun. How is this civilised?
Seven DEAD people, countless grieving and damaged people, all for some cockeyed sense
of
'rights'. Human life counts for so little. I know that a person's right to
buy/own/carry
a gun is worth far more than these dead people's lives. I know it is people who kill
and
not guns. It makes sense to enable these crimes doesn't it? Maybe we should be beome
more
civilised here and make it easy to slaughter a handful at a time. So much easier than
knifing one at a time.
