there wont be anyone to shoot. the guy will be dead already.
this is the problem with americans now. they have become 100% dependent.
if its not welfare checks and food stamps, its when the police will save them from any and all things.
police are unreliable. this school shooting proves that.
Well, lets look at some other nations and see how they are faring with their issues of internal violence and their policies for gun control. How about Poland?
In the United States, there were 16799 deaths (2009) from homicide, 11,000 involved a firearm.
In Poland, there were 493 deaths (2009) from homicide , 15 of which were from firearms.
There are over 310 MILLION nonmilitary firearms in the United States which is almost 1 per every man woman and child with a population of 314 million. In Poland, there are only 510,000 with a population of 38 million.
Currently my father is over in Poland on business and from talking to the locals, gun related violence is virtually unheard of, and he's currently in a metropolitan area.
So why is it, that when we have more firearms than any other nation in the world, that we end up shooting each other? I do agree with you to a point, banning guns will not solve the problem but it would certainly help. Guns are the equalizer and feed you a sense of power. I'm sure someone would be less willing to kill someone else if they had to use something else besides a firearm. But, there would still be those people who would still be willing.
When it comes to gun control, I don't think people look deep enough. We've been bred into a world where materialism and consumerism permeates our everyday lives. Violence is often glorified in our culture and the stress of our everyday lives certainly isn't healthy for our mindset. If people really want to put a massive damper on mass shootings and homicide, then they'll look at the way our society functions. Gun control helps, but it doesn't address the fundamental issues that drive us to violence and both need to happen in order for us to see a change
