Gun control?

Sp is this proof guncontrol doesent work, because you cant stop the motive of some people. Instead of going after tools, I think police should be looking for the psycho's in our communities and providing adequate police protection.

    While I love Japan, targeting a specific knife is pointless. Wasn't there a mechanic among the group? All sorts of hand held tools can be just as lethal as a knife. Chef knives and fishing knives can also kill people. Screw drivers and scissors can kill people, and power drills can be almost as bad as bullets. I think you'll find shop teachers are missing more parts than most.

    I agree, addressing the individual, not the weapon is the way.

    Maybe the supreme court shouldn't so strongly enforce the "Right to bare arms". Maybe they should focus on other rights of The Constitution like "freedom of speech". Maybe then people would talk it out instead of shooting it out. I totally agree with you. Gun control is a joke.

    People kill people. Guns, knives, clubs, or pushing them out of a window. It's people that kill people.
