no, I honestly don't. there is nothing that is going to change how things currently are. more so, I'm vehemently opposed to any extra governmental control. although I believe that guns are a means toward destruction I do not believe that they are the cause.
killing people (even LOTS of people) only requires a little bit of ingenuity and
a will to do so.
banning guns would decrease the incidence of crime in the short-term. sooner or later some kook would find a way to kill LOADS of people using some new (and painfully simple) way. it wouldn't take long for the attention seekers to follow suit.
that said....Atari at least offered a course of
action based on his opinions. that's exponentially more constructive than a thousand
posts on the subject.
god I had to edit the fuck out of that....time to go back to work.
