I own a few guns. I may wish to acquire a couple more. Non of my guns have killed a person. If I owned a current age military style gun, it would not kill people. Only a person can kill people using a gun...or a knife or golf club or a bomb. We have a mental health problem in this country, brought on by stress, mostly confrontational, and we have failed to find solutions that would alleviate it. We have far too many violent, killing type movies coming out of Hollywood these days. They glorify killing, work on the psychic of weaken minds, encourage live enactment of scenes in real life. Yet, a President (Obama) and Congressional members (mostly inner city democrats that hate guns) that take multi millions of dollars from Hollywood with narry a boo.

We can never have a reasonable conversation to resolve the issue if the major news media types can't encourage a problem solving discussion without their continuous pre-conceived attitudes that guns are the problem. While they purport that they support open discussion, already this past Sunday, they ganged up on the NRA before any committee has been assembled. They have already tried to take the NRA positions off the table, instead criticizing the NRA for openly beginning discussions. In negotiations and problem solving, whether it is marriage, business or any other dispute, brainstorming works best when the facilitator states to the group..."no idea is a bad idea" rather than dismiss the idea before it's merits are debated.

Killings will continue as long as attitudes like snowshoe2 pervade our culture.
