Now let's get this straight. I'm far left. Farther than the point of democrat stupidity.

I'm a firm believer that people should have access to whatever weapons the police have. You'll never catch me allowing a human being to posess more power than me. Who says a cop can't go bad? I say if cops are abusing their power, give yourself that power and abuse them back.

As for the link between guns and crime, it's not nearly as simple as either main political party would like you to believe. Many things contribute to crime. Look at our history with racial discrimination. Do you think that we have the ghetto because of the guns? No we have the ghetto because after blacks were liberated they weren't allowed to live anywhere else until way after suburbs were created. This is true, there were housing acts and blacks were only allowed to live in certain areas. So we created these ghettos for the minorities to live in, which increased crime. We give them guns and liberals try to blame the guns for the crime. Obviously europe isn't gonna have this because europe doesn't have the history that we do, nor do they have the system of capitalist greed that lets the rich stomp on the poor to the point where the poor are angry and desperate.

I wish everyone would look at issues and not just take the side of what their political party believes. There's no such thing as a black and white issue. Think for yourself and use logic, not what rush limbaugh tells you every day.
