If it ends, and I don't think it ever will because it's always the same goddamn excuses afterwards, it will end after somebody who is very important loses a child. Because it's not a problem until somebody who really matters dies, is it? Goddamn it, this is bloody sh*t. Bloody f*cking shi*t.

The problem is becoming out of hand. The one thing people tend to forget is that other people die everyday from guns. It just takes a large scale event to bring it to the public eye. The only way to really stop this is to stop kids from cracking and taking out their aggressions with a gun.

This is a perfect example of why gun control doesn't work. The Netherlands has some of the toughest gun control laws in the world, and even THAT doesn't help. There's a deeper problem here, and it's that we don't teach our kids morals. And there ARE absolute morals, like "Thou shall not kill". Children should be taught that some things are wrong, with no ifs, ands, or buts.

Sorry to ruin your fun, but this kind of topic definitely belongs to the Flameboard.
Omega: Well, the percentage of gun-related deaths and injuries in the Netherlands is far less than at the United States (which is what? every day?). Remove gun control laws and we may as well wear bulls eyes with bright lettering saying "HIT US HERE!!!!"

Actually, with gun control laws, you're wearing a sign that says, "shoot me, because there's no chance I have a gun myself." At least by your logic.

Thats rather defeatist....with proper gun control you wouldn't have guns in the first place.
Besides, if friendly fire is a problem in even highly trained military forces, imagine how bad it would be if everybody had a gun and decided to hand out their own justice.

The word 'control' in gun control is a total euphomism!! .. If someone wants a gun bad enough, no matter how bad the laws are, no matter how strict the gun laws are, they'll get one.
There was just another shooting in the states.. a 12? or 13 yr old? kid shoots another kid .. Like, what is with that??!!!
Up here in Canada, the native indian kids are killing themselves (hanging) .. I simply don't get it.. Is everyone on a death kick!!??
Ahhh... I get so upset when I hear this kinda thing, cuz I simply don't comprehend the wanting to take one's or another's life!! Sensless CRAP
This should be in flameboard shouldn't it!! hehehe Good topic tho' !! This is a serious problem.. not only in the States or Canada.. but world wide.
