I always love these gun debate issues. It always breaks down into some lame statistics war or debate about how gun ownership helps personal protection or protects personal liberties. (I not say anything against these arguments, just that they are always the same ones used) What I would love to see is some serious talk about conversation about how to solve the problem of crime rather than just blaming guns (or lack there of) for being the issue. Personally I am with Chris Rock on this on, just make bullets cost about 5,000 each and the problem would be solved. If your willing to put 100,000 dollars worth of bullets into a guy then he probably deserved to die. And if your willing to spend 5,000 to kill a deer then I guarentee you wont be missing too often (thereby eliminating the need for semi-automatic rifles, which if you think about it, the only reason any hunter would actual need one of these things is because he is a bad shot ... lol which I could tell you plenty of hunting stories about ... oh did I mention that I own guns? ex member of the NRA?) The great thing about this post, and well this board in particular, is that it has given me yet another great idea for a paper topic. What would I do without the TFP to stimulate my creative juices?
AHHH damnit Jim! had to go and split the post right as I was posting this too .... sigh
