I think the parents who have lost children; the families that have lost members; and the friends who have lost mates would love an answer...
what about those loved ones lost to knives? Britian seems to have a heckuva problem with knifing deaths. Thing is...science builds a better mouse trap and nature creates a better type of mouse.
I'm actually not a big proponent of guns. It's a cowardly way to hurt someone in my opinion. You want to hurt someone? Have the guts to do it with your own hands.
It's like a detachment from reality. But then again, throughout history when men once fought with swords and hands and fists, they still killed...the wars still continued, and science began building higher-tech traps...and we still kill. So guns, knives, fists, bats...what difference does it make really? We're bent on self-destruction anyway.
I can't wait for nature to create a better type of mouse. We're so going down. :)
/end rant that makes no sense. :)
