i like all this constructive talk about gun control in america. it is a very difficult situation because we as a country are centered around guns..(ie: won our independance through revolutionary means, wild west american culture, hollywood action movies) its a tough cookie no doubt about how gun control might work if at all. im all for the 2nd amendment (as my beretta and rifles will vouch for me) but there should be some sort of mental evaluation of people who own guns. obviously look what happen in colorado. the guy obtained EVERYTHING completely legal. same case with the columbine shootings AND the virginia tech massacre. as stupid as this may sound i do have to aggree that arming civilians to protect themselves is an immediate and effective way to combat physcos. ill be honest although itll be weird to have many people walking with guns on their hips (as if it was the wild west which it was normal back then) but i feel that with this many people in response and a good majority of them being sane and responsible (so we'd hope...) would react in good time and with some skill and training to limit casualties. at least im speaking for myself if i witness some guy in my neighboorhood losing it and going on a rampage (which would be fairly obvious to understand whats going on) i would immediately put him down asap its a sad thing but itll save possibly a mother and daughter and maybe even my family members which live in the area...
overall, yea i consider myself one of those sane sensible gun owners and i gladly would respond to any nut threatening public safety in my neighboorhood, again because if its in my area, i immediately think of my family and the chance that a murderous physco my stumble near my mom or dad or something...
