It's fun if you want to pay a lot of tax money, but it really makes you wonder about America's way of dealing with, (and creating of,) crime.

The amount of crime in this country has much more to do with our hotshot attitudes, money chasing, money obsessed, supremist attitude. If you haven't noticed, Americans like to stand out a lot. Well, for the most part. Our crime levels have nothing to do with our laws about guns. They have to do with our obsession with money.

...and hence selfishness and lack of social responsibility. I completely agree. Parents do nothing to teach their children otherwise, nor do their friends, teachers, or the unlimited capitalist system.

This policy divides us more than anything else ever could. "It's not personal, it's just business".

That's the problem. Nothing is personal.

Getting shot in the face does have somthing to do with guns, right?

I'm trying to prove a point that abolishing our right to weapons won't have much of an effect on crime. Criminals will keep their illegal guns and the good people will have to turn in all their registered guns.

But, I suppose you think that little bit of difference it would make is worth it? I mean, if abolishing gun rights could save one human life, it must be worth it right?

What happens if some V for Vendetta shit happens and our government goes wack and the American population wants to rebell? The government will laugh at our pitchforks and shovels as their soldiers come in our homes. And don't say it could never happen. I seriously doubt the pot you smoke lets you see into the future.

But it does!

They still didn't invent something to prevent people from farting however. The future isn't all that great.
