Re: Do You Own a Gun ??
I will never own a gun.
The possibility that an accidental shooting involving myself or god forbid a child is just one I could not sleep with.
In addition, if the gun were stolen and then used to kill a person I just couldn't live with myself.
Per capita, I believe the United Kingdom has the lowest per capita murder with firearms rate. Anyone know what their gun policy is?
Per capita, I also believe we have one of the highest rates where a war or genocide is not currently going on.
However, guns are not the root of the problem. The lack of respect on the part of many for their fellow human beings is the root of the issue in my opinion. Guns just make it easier for the results of such disrespect to have dire consequences.
And no, I don't think guns should be banned, but I do think guns are way out of control and do need to be registered and controlled (access to and ownership of).
