Also a person with a bat or knife or other weapons can't do a mass shooting or mass killing and if they do it would be a hell of a lot harder. Lets say the shooter in colorado went in there with a knife or bat. I bet no one died. Also what is the number one killer in violent crimes? I seen you skipped that. It's confirmed you listen to Rush. LOLLLLLOLOLO |
well guns a still readily available to criminals in countries that ban them, like mexico, not only that our government supplies some of them. but no one can gaurentee that a criminal wont gain access to guns. and the only way to possibly outright ban them would be repeal the second amendment. so in the mean time, citizens should be able to arm themsleves.
with out guns criminals will still rape, murder, steal, etc. would the be less mass killing, like 5 or more people at a time. i dont doubt that. but it wont end crime. in almost every case where guns a banned or restricted crime goes up, when gun laws a laxed, ccw, etc crime goes down.
but i dont blame these shooting a guns, or the availability of them, but on the individual, and what shaped him. we have a crime culture, gang, and thug culture. before the 1940's machine guns were readily available to every including kids, and by mail order, we didnt have any school shooting or whatever back then. thats becuase our culture, and i believe the break down of the family.
as for you last part. Rush?? limbaugh? rarely. i got that stat from a gun rights site that gathers tons of crime info.
