After yesterday's massacre at that Connecticut elementary school, a lot of gun control nuts are going crazy on enforcing the limit of firearms.
Why should we have to limit our use of guns, when it clearly isn't the gun's fault? Do you just see a gun grow legs, walk up, and just start shooting people? No, it's the person wielding the weapon.
A good example would be the incident that happened in China yesterday. A deranged man was able to stab and injure 23 people yesterday, 22 being schoolchildren. From what I've heard, none of them died, but he was still able to do all this damage with a knife.
There is no point in banning or controlling something, when there are clearly other objects that can just take its place. Discuss your opinions and thoughts.
Not that I agree, but the anti gun crowd will say that the fact the children lived is all the reason they need. Two societies, one with and one without guns, both have an attack on a school. The one without guns the kids live, the one with guns they all die.
Yep. Criminals can get guns even if guns are illegal though, so the law doesn't change anything if the criminal is going to get a gun anyway...
