Hi, Robert Bashe!
I read your message from 12.10.2017 09:09

  JA>> And yes a hammer can be used to kill someone, but not a crowd of
  JA>> someones. I get that. But the point is that evil is in the heart
  JA>> or they wouldn't do it to begin with. I don't think 'evil'
  JA>> or 'intent' can be policed, unless we all give up ALL rights and
  JA>> let the government rule us...

  RB> I used to think the same way, Jimmy. But times have changed, and
  RB> the mentality along with them. You may know how to deal with guns.
  RB> I certainly do, having had them since I was 10 years old in Texas.
  RB> But there are a lot of people around who can get things equivalent
  RB> to machine guns (a nice assault rifle fitted with a "bump stock"
  RB> and with any luck a brand-new silencer) and don't have the internal
  RB> fortitude to really deal with them. And whose emotions are more
  RB> important to their actions than logic or empathy. And you can kill
  RB> a hell of a lot more people with a gun than you can with a knife or
  RB> a hammer. That's the point. Cheers, Bob

In Futurama cartoon they showed special kiosks for those who want to be 
killed and stop his existence in that boring, fucking life. But in 
reality it can be more fun to kill a few hundred people before taking 
your own life and dying with your middle finger out. I believe it will 
be the issue in the near future, especially in the USA.  8-)

Bye, Robert!
