I agree. I think we're of a similar mind on this. I also feel that we need to focus of 'violence', with no modifiers present, as in the term "gun violence". Harm is harm

I feel your statements are pretty good, except that you seem to feel that people that may do harm would only do that harm if a gun was available.

If you prevented a person that shouldn't have a gun from having that gun, it's logical to say that it was prevented because of a big risk involved, right?

But if the risk is so big, access to a gun doesn't remove the risk, it only removes the risk of it being done with a firearm. Bear in mind that McVeigh didn't use a gun, and Lanza stole the guns he used. None of that's political, it's just fact

So the issue is, to me, "how do you prevent people from harming each other?" Education might be a good place to start, so that "guns" are not mysterious, shadowy monsters that kill of their own volition, and also that it's really wrong to hurt other people. But not that everyone has to be a pansy in order to get along, either. Bluntly, kids are not being raised, on the whole, to respect life. Their parents can't even be asked to respect coaches and little league officials, how would the kids know that other people are important too? We have a culture of acceptable violence in the USA.

Look at somebody like Chris Brown. Or Lindsay Lohan. These "celebrities" get third, fourth, fifth chances when they break laws and hurt people or put people at risk. Why are they different? Why do we let our children grow up thinking that's OK and why do we let them learn that they will not really get in trouble for breaking laws?

I feel that the lack of repercussion for breaking laws, that is sensationalized and made to appear the norm is responsible for a lot of our problems. Look at people you know that own guns and don't break laws. Why don't they break laws?
Because we were raised not to. And we got our asses kicked after Leo were done with us if we did. If got paddled at school I got whipped when I got home. I had to suffer the consequences of my decision both by authority and by my parents.

I went to a school where firearms were allowed in vehicles and pocket knives with 3" or less blades on body. I used a bolt action 410 as a prop in a school play in middle school.

I never seen a person stabbed or ever heard a shot fired at my school. My principal through out gloves to let people settle things man to man. With a hand shake afterwards.

I never witnessed PREGNANT teens at my school either.

The Bible Belt like it or not; it's a different world here. And I'm so thankful for that. I only hope not to lose MY rights when I have done nothing less than respecting others my entire lifetime.

There is no RESPECT left in this country. You can't value a damn thing without respect

I really like the XDm...great bang for the buck. This and the XDs are both definitely on my short list.

I own a SLR-107. Best ak that exist IMHO. Especially the milled varieties. I passed up a arsenal milled under folder a while back for $1000 (lightly used) and have been kicking myself every since.

These aks shoot 1 moa...that's
