On new years day a girl in toronto was shot in the face comming out of Eaton's center with her family. Today 4 blocks from where I live a person shot and killed some people in their home.
I will never understand the bloodthrist of people who own Guns. My points still stand, Countries like England and Norway and Sweden and others in Europe have banned guns and have a much much lower crime rate and still manage to protect themselves and enforce the law as well.
And I love how you mockingly joke about people living in peace with one another. It would kinda ruin you Gun lust wouldn't it?
Oh really... That's another fact-less rant. If "people being shot" was indeed intrinsic of gun ownership, everybody in the U.S (and Canada) would either be dead of have a bullet wound. "Sooner or later".. how deep... lol
Yes, I understand that people can die from being shot. Why should the vast majority of people who own guns and DO NOT shot people or commit crimes with them suffer for the few? When the few that do want a gun for malicious intent will still obtain a gun [illegally] if they really are so hard up to kill?
I don't agree that it's "bloodlust" and the facts don't agree with you either. The VAST MAJORITY of people who own guns to not use said guns to kill people. That is a fact. I don't own a gun; never have, so I can't enlighten you to the appeal people have in owning one.
I don't mock peace, I mock your nonsensical rants about "stop making guns all together". As noted, I don't own a gun and I have no intention of buying one in the future.
