Re: Guns - People with Rage

<< Guns don't kill people, people kill people; rage kills people. >>
But where do these people with rage get their guns? I don't think thru
normal legal means. If guns are ever outlawed, then they will only be in the
hands of the bad guys.
Julie in MO.. who plans to run for cover after this..LOL
>>Yes, but if people with rage can't get guns they can't kill with them. Ittakes a lot more energy to kill some other. more physical way. -Amalia-<<

I believe sometimes they get them at home. Also a lot of shootings are
accidental. My daughter had a friend in Santa Fe who was in a wheelchair
because she had been shot as a child by a brother or cousin fooling around
with a gun. Good guys vs. bad guys??? Just last month in Oakland, Ca. a
police officer was killed by two fellow officers by accident while he was
undercover.

Wellllll, I don't think anyone needs automatic weapons or handguns. It is
interesting that folk who own guns are 22% more likely to injuried with a
gun. And folks that have guns for "protection" are 75% more likely to be
injured by their own gun than by the supposed bad guys they are protecting
themselves from.
One of the problems with guns is that we don't enforce the laws we have AND
we don't put rules on the books that will make a difference. Folks who sell
guns illegally get a slap on the wrist, so why should they care if they are
providing guns to gang members and bad guys. The number of illegal guns
coming over the borders is enormous! Deal with that.
AND, I won't shout but really want to, what about IDIOT police departments
that take the guns they have confiscated and then turn around and sell them!
Some of those guns have been traced through 3 or 4 criminal acts after being
sold by police departments!
Also, the real origin of lots of guns used by the bad guys is the same folks
that bought them to protect themselves and then they were stolen. Folks
don't do enough to keep guns safe and that includes safe from theft.
