[QUOTE]Originally posted by Eclipse: [QB] I said this in another forum far, far away, and will repeat it here: The problem is not that America, or Japan, or Rwanda, or anywhere else is a violent country; the problem is that [i]homo sapiens[/i] is a violent species. Think about it for a moment. There are conflicts of interest in the world. It is natural for you to try and resolve those conflicts in a way beneficial to you. You employ force to do so. That 'force' may be diplomatic force (an oxymoron, perhaps), the use of a threat, or physical violence. So, let's say someone decides to use physical violence to settle his little dispute. Given that he's going to do it, what are the chances of his inflicting fatal damage using: (a) his bare hands? (b) a knife or other stabbing weapon? (c) a firearm? Guns [i]do[/i] kill people. People kill people, too. And they do it with a lot greater ease when they have guns to hand. [/QB][/QUOTE]
