Gun Control

There have been numerous calls recently for gun control. It amazes me that when you question people who believe guns should be illegal about whether they think violence will end completely if guns were made illegal and the majority say "yes." I don't know what world they are living in, but those of us not living in a land of "lemon drops and moon beams" it won't go away. People who say we need tougher gun laws (to stop the violence) should look at history. On the same day as the CT shooting a man in China (where guns are illegal) used a knife to stab 22 children and 1 adult. In the 9-11 attacks the terrorists used knives and box-cutters to take over planes that killed almost 3,000 people and not one gun was known to be used. If sick people want to hurt or kill others they will use anything available to them. Terrorists in Russia used bombs in the Moscow Subway, on Russian Railways and on planes in separate attacks (and guns are illegal in Russia.) If they can't get guns then they use knives or get poison from the hardware store to poison people as happened in the Tokyo subway or make bombs from fertilizer like they did in the Oklahoma City bombing. Guns don't kill people - sick people kill people. I consider those people who kill others (whether by knife, gun, poison, bomb, etc) to be equally insane -whether they are called terrorists or not. If they can't get guns and still want to hurt/kill others they will use anything available to them (poison, knives, fertilizer, etc.) Let's focus on the real problem that caused these sick people to want to hurt/kill and those that knew how unstable these people were and did nothing to stop them or get them help.
