Gun laws

Very well put, Celtan and Michael.

I believe respect is the basis for everything, and without it we can go nowhere.
This might be why countries like Switzerland and Finland, with gun-ownership as high as that of the 'States, have very low crime rates.

Clockwork,
I agree with just about every word you have written.
The problem I believe has some roots in parents abdicating their responsability at home, ...they're just not there, and the kids are out getting into all kinds of stuff.
Parents are meant to bring kids up, Not some government program, day-care or anything else.
If we rely on gov't to do Our job, we are on a down-hill slope.

I note that some of you boys here think it is OK to ban certain classes of firearms. I can only state the obvious,... look at the UK, stricktest laws it's ever had, and More crime than ever before. Even knives with blades over 4 inches are in the works now.

Believe it was Abraham Lincoln stated;

"....If we don't hang together, we'll All hang seperately!"....
