Honestly the gun doesn't change the person to be more homicidal.


No, but when someone is homicidal, and they have a gun, they are more likely to be successful than someone with a knife. It all depends on the situation, in the home with domestic abuse it is a lot easier with a knife, but out on the streets it is much harder.

Many anti-gunners feel that people aren't responsible enough to have guns. To some of them I can understand their thinking because maybe they haven't seen responsible people with guns. People like myself. They probably have seen nothing but violence with guns and the symbol of guns to them represents death. which of course is reinforced by the media. Does the media really report people like myself. Nope, we are invisible and do not exist.


Which asks the question of why a person needs a license to drive a car, but not to have a gun. I know the constitutional issues are a little bit difficult on this issue, and that an individual in theory should be able to get a gun without being licenses, but if the license was not prohibitive, ie, a person only had to pass a simple course that taught safty etc, then it should not be a problem.
Or, as i have said before, rejuvenate the unorganised militia, force people to be in it, make the time they have to serve very little, and it to include gun safety, target practice etc.
