media is interested in reactions. This situation garners it and they will all report on it and make it as dramatic as possible. journalism is less about proper portrayal of facts and events, but to get reactions and spur interest. This new development fits the bill, so they're all over it...

i like you a lot already.

Because people don't teach kids that pointing guns at other people is bad. It's kinda like why no kid today like throwing knives at other kids just to try it out. It's a parental/education issue. God, we teach kids how to use condoms and stick poison stickers on household cleaning items. Why...

Violence has never been new, but the tools have changed. There were swords, now there are guns. i reckon that if you remove all the guns (which is impossible to do because you'll never force other countries to give up their weapons exports), people will go back to stabbing each other. Take a...

i can't really vote on this poll...there's not enough options. the current state of thins is actually really good when it comes to kids (under 21). Parents can teach their children (under 21) how to shoot and such at young ages, but they can't carry their guns around publicly. i think that's...

I'll try my luck with a gun. You can choose not to if you want. it's your right. it's more complex than you think really. Criminologists can attest to that. The gun in legal hands is primarily a tool of deterrence, not of tools for aggression It does seem like you have issues of trusting...

yes, now how do you suggest that? i'd be great and all, but it's like saying eliminate all narcotics we've been saying no to heroin and marijuana, but has that ever stopped? simple answer is no. Banning guns does not do anything, it just proliferates the black market and sweeps over the...

what's a kid really? now, Americans can own rifles very nicely at age 18. 21 for a handgun. is that a kid? can people make fairly good choices at age 21? WHAT IS THE AGE GROUP WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?! you see a lot of violence, but you can thank the gangs for that. they're doing fairly...

I've been looking around for a rifle (or two) and a pistol lately. I might as well be chalked up as a gun owner then. I aim to have the gun for recreation; but since it can be used for self defense as well as recreation here, i wouldn't mind taking some tactical classes to get the most...

sorry, but this also makes me think of some of the gun-rights arguments i've gotten into it's the same thing, "why would you want people to have guns?" people looking in from the outside... they just don't understand :( now, what this could be is projection, where the person knows that if...

The game was a catalyst for this, me thinks though other things that the media likes to not mention are certainly to blame (such as an affair). i certainly wouldn't enjoy it if my wife were to push me out of the bedroom so she could play games all night while i sleep on the couch. It's...

i ride bikes like no body's business i usually find them on street corners
