[QUOTE]Originally posted by fructose1: [QB] A lot of the problem is how people think of guns. Owning a gun gives you the power to take a life. Doctors have that power, but the swear not to do harm, or they can't be a doctor. Many people don't realize what power they hold in their hand when they have a gun and don't act appropriatley. I don't own any guns, but I know that whenever I hold one I should treat it like it's always loaded, and you NEVER point it at anyone unless you intend to kill them. It's part of acknowledging the power you hold. The people that abuse the power is the problem. And until our society can somehow stop glorifying the use of guns, then that will remain a problem. If you ask a real cop how many times he took out his gun, most of them could count the times on one hand. And how many times they shot at someone would be even fewer. Movies, tv, the news, and so on all make it seem like cops pull their gun out several times a day and kill people all the time. I don't think we sould ban violence from tv and movies. Hell, I like a good action flick just like everyone else. But our society needs to learn what guns are really about. (Woah, let me step off the soap box now.)
