@BillRM,
There are alot of good points here. As stated, all the new laws do is make it tougher for law abiding citizens to get and own guns while criminals have free reign in our schools and public buildings. Much of the time Americans do shoot each other in rits of rage and this goes back to the overall breakdown of morals and discipline in our society. It is no longer acceptable to discipline kids, its considered abuse even when it is not that tough of discpline. Then we have the "just let it go" mentality and we are told that to do something about evil "isnt worth it". As a result the kids grow up with no morals or ethics, cold toward others and the idea that what they want they damn well better get. Bad hands for owning anything dangerous.
On the other hand, the rest of us who do not reach for a gun in a fit of rage continually hear of our rights being threatened and eroded and gun ban fanatics pushing for us to be punished for the deeds of others. That is the fight we face. You remember back in school when the teacher would punish the entire class because Jimmy did wrong. It's the same with us. We are not psychos, mentally disturbed or angry people, but much of society wants us treated as if we are and disarmed. Yet the man who doesnt believe in owning guns and gets drunk friday night and kills someone thinks having his car taken away is unfair. Same thing, different weapon.
