[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lost: [QB] We tried that, but the fumes were a killer..... I'd imagine that sometimes since the inception of the county someone shot somebody, but not in 2001. On the flipside no one has held up anyplace at car point, a few places have been held up and pistol and knife points, so they have been used in the commission of a felony, just not the big one of murder..... Although some of the tourists seem like they are holding the county at car point, but, I guess that is neither here no there for this. We could go to the point of the Simpsons, complete and total disarmament, then when the aliens invade we have to fight back with two by fours with nails in them..... Attitudes are the problem, not the weapons. The number of murders I have read about, while living in Port Huron and Atlanta (MI), have been mainly commited with cars, ball bats, knives, machetes, and the likes, 6 murders in the past 3 years in the areas I've lived and 1 (one) was commited with a firearm. This leads me to believe that if people are going to kill then it doesn't matter what they have at hand, they will. Once the attitudes of people change, from the tough guy syndrom, the I want your stuff syndrom, and the hatered of people being different syndrom is cured people will die from the actions of others. So to impose a ban on hand weapons, to the point of not making them even, will lead to sawed off shotguns and rifles, which will lead to a ban on them, all the way doen to a ban on 2x4s and nails. The problem is the "nothing can be done" attitude towards changing society back to one where people respect each other without me proving to the others that I am worthy of respect without me killing someone, and our 'One Nation under God' is the one that needs the most changing. You want to help ease crime, move to an area that needs volunteers to give guidance to troubled youths, show them there is a better way to live and treat people. This won't work 100% of the time, just like the death penalty hasn't, because some people just can not be reached, or thier mind goes. So don't blame Smith & Wesson, Colt, Beretta, or the others, blame us. Okay, I think I can give the soap box back, and remember <H1 ALIGN=CENTER><FONT COLOR="FFD700"><BLINK>Vote for Ritten in '04</BLINK></FONT></H1> <CENTER>No, new taxes and a gun in every home and car</CENTER> [/QB][/QUOTE]
