Don't you find it odd that the US, with all these "defensive tools" lying around, somehow has an absolutely sky-high murder rate that is more than double its developed-world peers? I think it's important to note that another major difference between the US and our developed-world peers is universal healthcare and better access to mental health services. People who are depressed, unstable and violent are more likely to receive treatment in those countries, whereas mental health services are expensive, scarce, and often not covered here in the US. Passing gun control legislation and ignoring the underlying cultural and mental health issues is like treating the symptoms while ignoring the disease. If we don't solve these problems, we'll just be exchanging shootings for a different form of mass murder, most likely running down people with vehicles. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 ...
