Why, thank you. :)

Can we also take a moment to appreciate "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"? A poignant slogan that is technically true but falls into a logical fallacy. Guns are illegal in Australia and the UK, and it's true, only outlaws have guns there. But, because guns are so much harder to get, very few outlaws have them and gun violence is down greatly as a result. The career criminals of the underworld, the type of outlaws who are more likely to illegally acquire a gun, aren't the ones going into movie theaters and randomly shooting people.

Medi, I too would love to see a violence free world..But that hope is not realistic.  There is no utopia on planet Earth.  I live in the US, and all I can tell you is that , in my opinion, Americans will not sacrifice their 2nd amendment rights. For better or worse...

Yes. Nothing would make me happier than a world free of violence. But, if we took away the guns and knives, people would kill each other with stones. That said, the regulation of instruments that make it much easier to kill many and much quicker is a very good thing. No one is going to kill 30 people in two minutes with a small rock.
