Glen,
I guess you would need more specifics to properly analyze my example. Let's
say that this guy pulls a gun on you in a dark alley and says, 'give me your
wallet or i'll kill you.' Let's say you have a gun he doesnt see, and you
can either give him the wallet and be on your way, or kill him and keep your
wallet. Would it be 'good' to kill that person?
I thought gun control laws also involved a background check, which i think is
very important. I think that in order to purchase a firearm one should have
to offer proof that he needs it and proof that he is competent enough to use
it properly and keep it away from children and such. How many stories have
you heard about morons who dont hide their guns properly from kids? i
remember last year reading about a first grader who murdered a classmate of
his with a gun that was kept in his house. I dont know a damn thing about
Vermont other than the fact that you keep mentioning it as defense for your
position. What are any significant statistics you have about Vermont? Id
like to know.
About the story, i dont know the name of the guy who killed himself. A
singer from a punk band called 'Tuesday' told the story at a show. Whether
or not he made it up or not, i dont know, but i dont see why he would, so i
believed it. Anyway, you can look at the suicide and say, 'this guy was
crazy, if he didn't shoot himself he would have killed himself another way.'
But you can also say that with this guy's background, he could have killed
other people with his gun as well. I dont have a problem with people who use
their guns responsibly, but there are too many who dont. If you strengthened
gun control laws, it would be more of an inconvenience im sure for the
responsible ones to get guns, but it would prevent a lot of psychos from
getting guns in the first place, which is well worth it in my eyes.
