I'll get my .02 worth in here. Why do you think an increased access to guns for our children is what's causing violent crime to increase in this country? What makes you think our children today have easier access to guns than in the past? I'm curious as to where these ideas come from. I personally believe that access to guns has very little to do with anything. There has always been ways for anyone, no matter how old, if they have money, to get a gun, always. I believe that what's at the root of this problem is moral decay plain and simple. This country was not only founded on the constitution and bill of rights, but more importantly on the sound principles which were behind all that was written. The very laws we live by today were born out of the principles and morals that our forefathers lived by, and raised their children by. The reason we have continued to write ammendments to the constitution, and modify laws is because we continue to allow our principles to decline. It's to a point now where many kids are brought up to do exactly what they want to, respect no authority, and fear no retribution for anything. And we wonder why there is so much violent crime and kids killing people. So then we look for a good explanation. Well it has to be guns. I'll tell ya, just any body can go get one now days! It couldn't possibly be that we have failed the last few generations of kids by not teaching them discipline, principles, and values, such as that for human life. No that couldn't be it. What I want you rocket scientist' to explain to me is what are we going to do when there are no guns available and crime is as bad or worse than it is now? We gonna ban knives, baseball bats, wire, or anything that could in anyway be construed as a weapon? -- Regards. Tim
