IF Guns are outlawed then.. (Score 1)

you've all probally heard the phrae if guns(or other item people are blaming for the latest shocking incident) are outlawed then only outlaws will have guns(or the aforementioned item). This is exactly what the problem is. Think, would you go on a killing spree if everyone over the age of 18 (legal adult in the usa), carried a fire arm of some sort. Most people without a death wish would. Also, these mad shooting sprees would take out a lot less people when, after thier first shot, all the "innocent bystanders" began shooting the lunatic. The problem exist not in the weapon but in the use of it. Yes, guns kill people. That is what they were designed to do, just as bombs are designed to blow things up. Both are entirely safe if used responsibly. It is this personal responsibility that is lacking. A sense of self and our personal influence in the world around us that allows people to understand and cope with their problems. It is an inabilty to cope with the pressures of living that leads to lunacy. Understand yourself and the world around.
