The legality of the drugs isn't what keeps people from doing them; the fact they they are likely to kill them is.


Thats a very optimistic view on drug addiction.
I'm not talking about drug addiction; I'm talking about drug use.

Even if heroin was legal to buy, sell, and use, I still wouldn't do it. I think a lot of people share that outlook. That's my point.


Are you telling me that legalization of heroin would not lead to a boost in heroin addicts?

I'm saying that legalization of heroin would not lead to a large increase in heroin users.

Again, drug use and drug addiction are different things.

So why are you surprised that gun enthusiests are defending their passion when it is being accused of being the entire problem?


When did anyone act surprised?
alot of people are acting like these gunshows breed killers. Let's face it.

Most people go to gunshows are people who simply are looking for others that share their interests. They go for purchasing yes, but if it was solely for that, they would just go to a gunstore. They are there to socialize.

Almost all gun enthusiests have a respect for the weapon. They will usually treat the weapon with care, dilligence and respect. They will warn before they shoot if a life is in danger. They respect the weapons ability to take or save life.

Now the people who tend to do these shootings, at least through my observations, are none of these. They tend to go antisocial before the incident (not saying anti social behavior is a guarantee for this. Quite the opposite. They are usually social people who suddenly become anti social overnight). They tend not to have respect for life, not even thier own. They show no notice of the power or responsibility wielding a weapon properly requires. These are not gun enthusiests who shoot up these schools. They are sick people at their most desperate moments. They are desperate and irrational. Once they commit to doing something, they dont quit, because that is the only option in their mind. However this state can be prevented. Sometimes it is even as simple as giving them attention, or showing compassion.

How? I mean it isn't like you can see these people. If we could know who would snap, this wouldn't be an issue. The solution is an often overlooked one. It's not guaranteed to work, but it can help prevent SOME of the issues. Simply be nice to people. Say hello to someone. Everyday, try and compliment someone you don't know. Interact with that person sitting by themself at lunch. If they don't want social interaction, you tried. What are they going to do, hate you for trying to be nice, or asking about thier day?
