Guns and History What changed?
Do you realize that it was not terribly long ago that we had firearms clubs in high schools, boy scouts and other such venues? It was not uncommon for most households to have at least one firearm and for young men to be taught to shoot at a young age. We did not have shootings like we hear about today. Ask yourself why that is. What changed. The guns did not change. Again, what changed? My view: To blame guns for what is happening, allows far too many people, far too many theories and far too many errant policies and programs to escape blame. It allows those who have done all they can to create a much worse society than we used to have to escape blame for their part in causing what is now taking place.

Keep the populace dummied down, confused, misled, uninformed....and then feed them trumped up charges to lead them to war....or wherever. The oligarchy plays us for fools each day.

The people have changed. Then if you did something wrong then you were held accountable for your actions. Now it's nobody is held accountable. It's partly the government fault. if you went back in time to the forties imagine telling them that you can't buy a 16 oz soda because the government made it illegal because it was unhealthy. Think about the 1950's people had guns, the shows and movies were violent(cowboy and Indians, gangsters, war movies) but yet how many shootings did you hear about? Part of it was the media and part of it was the fact that whoever did this wasn't an instant household name. People need to stop blaming everything else but the shooter for these shootings. It's not the media, guns or too much sugar as a kid.

Values have changed.
People glorify video games which portray nothing but blood, gore, and mass killing.
Some who can not distinguish between reality and fantasy accept what they see as life.
Violence has become a way of life in the movies, in books, in the news, and sadly in many cases in real life.

I think all these guns have made us safer, don't you?
ask the 26 dead peeps at Sandy Hook.
BTW, we also, not too long ago, made adolescent work in factories at age 13 for less than what it costs for a day's food.
Do you seriously think your argument makes any sense at all?'
OF COURSE YOU DO! You're an ignorant repube!!!
