Nope. You're right, cars have got to go.

>We better get rid of vehicles too since some people get drunk and kill innocent people. Doesn't matter that the majority drive safely and responsibly, does it?

>>>>>>>>>There is a resort town close to here called Big Bear. It's up in the mountains, and I took my family up there Thursday through Sunday. They have a shooting range inclduing Trap, which I went to. I brought my own shotgun on Saturday and shot with my 15 year old daughter. On Sunday, there were more people there, and the range owner let me use his shotgun to shoot trap again.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>There were close to 20 shooters out there, of all ages from 9 years old and up. My 5 years old son sat with my wife and watched while I shot Trap.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>No one got shot. No one commited a crime. No one was unsafe. On either day. Statistics have proven over and over that the majority of legal gun owners don't commit crimes with guns.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>The Supreme Court was smart enough to realize that "Guns Don't Kill People - People Kill People".

>>>>>>>On June 9th, some nutjob went on a knife rampage and killed 7 people. On March 22 some guy in Japan killed someone with a knife. On June 23rd, someone in Japan knifed 3 people.

>>>>>>>Maybe they'll outlaw knives now.

>>>>>>>I'm sick of the gun control lobby. It's typical fear-based control tactics. The problem with the gun control wackos is that they are trying to fix what ails people by taking away guns. When there are no guns, people use knives.

>>>>>>>Again, Guns Don't Kill People - People Kill People

>>>>>>I would not call gun control advocates wackos. Most of the ones I know are just fed up with the outrageous number of gun deaths in this country. As you know, gun fatalities in the U.S. are way to the right end of the tail compared to other developed nations. That's very difficult to accept, even if you accept that gun control probably won't keep guns out of the hands of those most likely to use them. (At least not without stronger laws against illegal gun possession). It's frustration that a country with such potential can't fix such a huge problem.

>>>>>Some guy in China walked into a police station and knifed 5 cops to death. Should they ban knives now?
>>>>
>>>>That's one event. If we start seeing as many violent deaths by knife as we have by gun, yes, we should probably consider restricting them.
>>>>
>>>>I realize it quickly becomes silly when you talk about banning everything that might possibly kill someone. If there is one thing humans have proven, it's ingenuity. Still, guns are unsurpassed in their ability to kill someone at a moment's notice. Bang!, and a second later it's over.
>>>
>>>
>>>No, it isn't one event. There were 3 stabbing events in Japan this year alone.
>>>
>>>You're right in that it would be upsurd to try and ban everything that could kill someone. This highlights the point that the gun is only a tool or the criminal. Take it away, and he'll find something else to kill people with.
>>>
>>>So, it seems to me that the resolution is to cure the problem by curing the criminal.
>>
>>So simple! <g>
>>
>>You seem to be avoiding the point that it's a lot easier, and a lot more common, to kill someone -- in the heat of passion, say -- with a gun than by any other means. Three knifings don't change that.
