When will people ever stop blaming weapons for our screwed up world. Guns arent the problem, mental instability is the problem, greed is the problem, the Human Machine is the problem, Human weakness is the problem.
How can you blame an inanimate object that not only has no prejudice but also can not function on its own. Surprise surprise it takes a Human for it to work and it is the Human that decides how the gun will be used, for good or ill. THAT, is the problem of ANY type of weapon. Everyone has knives in there home, those are potential weapons, should we bannish all those?
Should we make ourselves so defensless that our goverment or another country can round us up like cattle and force us to live their way, irradicate freedom? A government or invading country cant be kept in check when there is no threat from it's people or opposition. Because if push came to shove and a law like this WAS introduced the only people to lose their rights and freedom would be the little people, the majority of citizens. What then? The powerfull will have that much easier a time of crushing any would be resistance or opposition of ANY kind.
You cant solve the worlds problems by taking away weapons, it wont work. We can only solve the worlds problems when we can teach the people of the world to THINK differently, to value peace, to irradicagte greed, to lay down predjudice, to release ego, and take responsibilty for our lives. This
world we live in, sad as it may seem, that we have built for ourselves could not and will not function with out weapons.
