I was raised around the farm and guns. I was taught how to use them properly. In school, we actually had a class on gun safety and usage. (not required) People are the problem and always will be. We try to be our own ‘gods’ but that will never work. As Gino pointed out, human beings need to be controlled. Laws are only rules or guidelines. A person with underlying issues to begin with will not obey laws. Even if this country had no access to guns, someone with a desire to cause harm will find a way. Drugs are illegal… how is that working out?
Some of you may watch the documentary ‘drugs inc’. Chicago is a waste land of gun violence right now. (mainly drug related) A recent interview on the show struck me as one our biggest problems. Two young kids dealing on the streets admitted they grew up without a ‘good’ parents. People on the streets are their family and taught them how to survive. I won’t even get into the argument here, but family values have been turned upside down for years and the trend is up. These two drug dealers statement echos the real issue here IMHO. (many will disagree) Parenting is the #1 frontline defense against so many problems. If you parent good, and are fully involved with your kids’ lives a positive outcome should result. The issue I see right now is bad parenting is growing exponentially. We are seeing an increase of bad parents raising kids with problems. Those kids grow up and do the same. They have kids and so forth. Some are lucky enough to break the trend but most don’t. To make matters worse, social media is a driving force behind so much opinion and ideas. We are all so connected now that a person with underlying desires to harm (not just gun related) can easily gain access to things he/she never had before. This drives the problem even further.

It is not all about the criminals or idiots. Just look at the statistics for accidents with weapons. The only way to save lifes is to be very restrictive. If someone wants to shoot he can go to a shooting club and leave the weapon there. It is not freedom to have a gun at home. It is silly esp. with kids around. You can't avoid killing with banning weapons but you can reduce it. If I need a weapon I call for police or security. No virus found in this message.
