GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[blueberryhill]

i don't have a problem with people who own guns; my family members were all hunters (my grandson had gun lessons, but only 12) and i didn't approve of that. don't have problems with people protecting themselves and property. There are the "experts" who say don't buy a gun unless you plan to shoot it and warn that the perp/pervert will likely take the weapon away from you if you are a woman. That would be my luck so i do not own a gun. i still feel we need stronger laws re guns. Go to a site that will give you statistics on the U.S. and deaths by guns versus other countries. We, of course, lead the pack. While you may be responsible, we have those who are not.. we need more than a cursory background check to purchase guns.. just because you don't have a police record, doesn't mean you won't shoot up the town. If everyone is packin heat, then we might as well go back to 1800's and wait for the guy with the white hat to ride in on his horse and save us all. No reason for assault weapons out there. Roy Rogers and Gene Autry didn't use them.
I also don't understand the States (mine included) who allow concealed weapons. What's up with that? Then finally enforce the gun laws that we do have....
