[/qb][/QUOTE]Guns and our society's handling of mental health issues are both problems. They both need to be addressed in an intelligent manner. The old saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people" is worn out and doesn't hold much water in light of the numerous mass killings we have had to endure. All of which involved sick people and guns. [/qb][/QUOTE]Sick people will find any means available to achieve there murderous goal. Sure it's easy to say if guns were not readily available we would eliminate that possibility for them. But they would just find another means to do their deed. Poisoning the water/food, explosives (pretty easy to make), machete, fire. I mean there is no end to the possibilities. [/qb][/QUOTE]True, but at this point guns are the easiest solution for these wack jobs. I don't agree with the argument that we shouldn't take action on guns just because a perp can find another means to his end. I don't know what the laws should be but ignoring the fact that guns are one part of a complex problem is not right. [/qb][/QUOTE]It is a complex problem but human nature is to take the path of least resistence. Make a law, ban this or that. Seems we always come up with the same solutions and they don't work, which is why there a millions of laws on the books and not much has been solved. Drugs are illegal - drugs everywhere. Rape illegal -....... To me, a big part of the problem is how America has "progressed". I'm older then probably everyone here so I can give you a little history. When I watched tv as a kid, no one got killed. Lone Ranger shot the gun out of the bad guys hand. Superman was a hero. Even in "adult" movies where ther was a fair amount of gun play. You never saw blood gushing out of wounds. Worst you saw was a little dark stain where a guy got shot. Compare that to today's movies. If you don't see someones head exploding with all the graphic detail, people are bored. Like, what's the big deal. Unfortunately, like with guns, the genie is out of the bottle on that one too. This society has become numb to movie violence and carnage. Young kids are watching this crap at a time when they have difficulty distinguising between fake and reality. You know, how do we change that now? [/QB][/QUOTE]
