Just saw a trailer for Michael Moore's new movie "Bowling for Columbine." It's all about guns in America and it got me thinking. Why are guns such a problem in America? How 'sacred' is the second amendment?

Personally, I don't think guns serve any purpose but to kill. You can target shoot without lethal potential and you can kill animals without firepower. I don't like the government telling us what we can and cannot own, but I really don't see the need for guns in any society.

I'm curious what you guys think. Do we need guns? Would it make a noticeable social impact to outlaw guns? I think it may... more than waiting for the average American psyche to evolve.

I love the smell of stirred shit.

i reckon these 'worse than nuke' attacks are noospheric/psychic weapons since there's plenty of evidence that they're in effect.

Remote dwelling places and a reclusive lifestyle help to limit your chances of being shot and generally hassled by undesirables.If I lived amongst a population who only understood the language of the gun then maybe having a gun would be necessary.

Ok,I have to say a gun saved my life without
taking a life.So I have no qualms about
shooting a wannabe gangster rapper when
he attacked me w/ a tire iron.i'm no little guy
but given the choice of tire iron/faceplant vs.
defending myself it was a no brainer.Now I
have to say it was very surreal and not
something I would want to do again.However
facing the same circumstance today i'm sure i
would react the same.As for the obsessive
culture in America it's no good.But a cop
couldn't have saved me.Maybe a surgeon but
not a cop.

H - I used to like guns but now they seem to
be more crap to empower the demise of the
silver spoonless.

you'll notice that toronto isn't on there because they classify murders as "hunting accidents"
