In the news tonight there was a story about a walmart shooting or somthing, (i did not catch the hole story) But what really got me was the news caster interview of a older lady, and her comments about the shootings, "its just not safe anymore with all these guns".
this next parts more of a rant sorry,
Now im sure she just did not no any better, and out of fright just made that comment, but why as people do we always think the guns are the problem, The gun was fired by a person.
when a cars kill people its always talked about as how many bad drivers are out there, but when its about guns, its always about how many guns are out there and never about the people behind the gun.
For the sake of argument, a gun can not fire its self, contrary to belief, but a car can actualy drive itself, because it has has cruse controle, and a gun well dose not.
a car will not stop itself if no one hits the brake, but a gun will not fire unless you pull the trigger.
Point is that a car that kills more people every year is to most just a tool, and even though it can kill from not being used properly, its never looked at as the killer in most cases, but a gun that cant even do a thing without human interaction is blamed for the reason people get killed.
if there were no guns i do believe there would be more horrific violence, because people used guns to intimidate, and moste of the time thats enuff to get there point across, but if all they had was say a baseball bat, they would be more likely to use it on you first so you dont try any thing heroic.
If your one of the people who beleve they shouldent have to protect themselves in this world, good luck out there, i will alway believe in my self for protection, and a gun being that equilizer agenst any threat.
Best way i can put this to anyone is, would you go online with your computer if it had no anti-virus or a firewal protection, do you worry about computer viruses, Hakers, identity thieves,
would you spend thousands on a computer that dosent not get viruses or pay money for anti virus programs, if you would do all that for your computer, what are you going to use to protect yourself in the real world.
