Shooting at Mall in Kingston

"...for starters someone with a gun could have put this sick individual to sleep before he was able to do as much damage as he did."

Instant rehabilitation.

Shooting at Mall in Kingston

Here's a recent story from CNN where a couple of armed robbers were instantly rehabilitated by a sweet old lady.

"I just started shooting," said Gloria Turner, 56. "I was trying to blow his brains out is what I was trying to do."

Shooting at Mall in Kingston

"the city slums. Some of these folks value life differently to us."

Ann, I wonder if we should judge ourselves by society's lowest common denominator. If a group of people put little or no value on life should that mean I should factor that in as part of the norm? I don't think so. I don't always feel the need to carry a weapon myself but I support almost anyone's right to carry if they feel the need.

Not long ago we listened to daily reports of thousands of rapes and murders in the former Yugoslavia. Families were at the mercy of the armed thugs in power. At the same time we were importing hundreds of thousands of Yugoslavian 8mm and 7.62mm rifles. I couldn't help thinking that a family who possessed one of these rifles could have saved their own lives, possibly their country.

"we are not in a situation of civil war. "

Ann, Why is Yugoslavia a poor analogy? Or Murf's discussion of Switzerland which is the exact opposite? Call it what you will, the reason there was ethnic cleansing is that there was a portion of the populace with no power. In many of our minds, an armed populace has power over tyranny.
