subject: More Laws = Less Killing?

Hello There,

 More gun laws will NOT prevent gun related killings. Change the mentality and
mindset of people and the existence of guns is a moot point. Some decades
ago there used to be a rifle in back window of most pickups. And there was
a lot less gun related killings. There are a number of countries where gun
ownership is a common thing and those same countries have relatively low
gun related deaths. Anyone can justify in their own mind the logic of their
own personal view on the idea of gun control. Myself included. But lets
look at what the reality of what is and what was. Many locations where
there have been increased gun control laws have not resulted in lower gun
related crimes. IMHO, these days we see increased deaths related to guns
and need to put the responsibly on something that explains and accounts for
those deaths. We look outward for a place to put that responsibility when
we should really be looking inward on what we need to change in ourselves.
