I do not own guns because I would have already shot someone  

i dont own a gun and would probably be in prison now if i did. I think they are dangerous in anyones hands. We all have a snapping point and ive been known to slam the odd door or three, however id rather do this than be able to reach for a gun
blessed be

I totally agree with you on that. I am the same. If I had a gun... I would have had good reasons to shot a dozen people through my life.

It is so easy to react in anger... pick up a gun and shot someone.

Same goes with suicide... it is just too easy if you have a gun to kill yourself.

And if you don't have a gun and go out to commit a crime with a knife... it ensure that you won't be able to shot back at the police when they turn up.

I have the DVD "Bowling for Columbine". If anything... this taught me that Charlton Heston was one of the biggest creeps in America.

All in all... America can make all the excuses in the world to justify its policy of not having a policy on guns. But we see the result of it everyday. If you Americans enjoy killing each other... I won't try to stop you. But I would not want to live there. It does not really make you much better than the barbarians of the Middle East.

I feel the same way as you do. How many times do we hear of someone who has a gun legally for "self protections" that is actually used to commit a crime because the person "snapped"? I can't imagine that I would ever use a gun, even if I was angry enough to hurt someone. I doubt that you would either. If you were that violent, you could have just as easily grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen... Either way, though, guns are dangerous in the wrong hands, and there is no way to determine if and when a sane person is going to snap.
