What I condone is the acknowledgment that "America" has a problem and fascination with violence. Many on this board have singled out minorities and the poor as the root problem with violence in America. I'm not saying that you personally have that view, but many on here, especially republicans, and yes , whites have repeated verbatim Bill O'Reilly's rant. Violence in America will only get worse as long as people continue to stick their heads in the sand and deny the problems in their own community and home. More guns will not solve this, only lead to more tragedies.
I agree that America has a fascination with violence. Hollywood and video game makers have furthered this, glorifying this as normal and acceptable. It is the extremists that cause the problems, not everyday folks like you and I.
The extremists aren't going to concern themselves with laws. The normal everyday people like you and I are the ones who will suffer from further regulation.
Why not have stiffer penalties for those convicted of using guns in crimes? My state has a mandatory 1 year sentence for any crime committed using a firearm. Let's up the ante on offenders and cut law abiding citizens some slack.
You won't find any of my posts blaming minorities or the poor for the violence in America.
BTW, I'm no fan of the republicans. But I do get a little tired of people on BC glorifying the democrats. I have no respect for either party. Both parties are out for themselves and don't care anything about us. One of the founding fathers commented that a two party system would be one of the worst things that could happen to America. Now we are seeing the reality of it.
Kmart sux. So does Walmart. And Orion.
