[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1436961, member: 17969"] again, not true. The GUN is the motivator and the bullets are the speediest way to kill family members. When emotions run high, the GUN is the easiest solution to a problem that could be solved with an attorney and some counseling. But GUN owners are not rational people. Again, we return to that "fear" that I keep speaking of. That "fear" has many faces, and its not only worrying about intruders and the great alamo stand you are preparing for. Its fear of being alone, being left for another man, being fired from your job, and the list goes on and on. GUN owners are so frightened by the "real" world, this "inanimate" object is the only common denominator that makes all of them feel safe. Are you contemplating killing "your" family, probably not at the moment, but having previous alcohol issues, you rank at the top of the list of the "type" of gun owner who would probably lose his mind over an issue at some point in time. I linked Page after Page of homocides involving home owners who killed their families, its not a pretty list, but they rank in the thousands. Just once, I'd like to hear you say that [B]NOT ALL PEOPLE[/B] should own guns, and that there needs to be some system of weeding out those with mental issues or behavioral issues that lead to the deaths of thousands of americans each year from guns. You keep quoting 200 million americans own guns, but this isnt true. That would be close to 75% of the population of the united states. Yes, there are millions of guns in the country, but people like you that hoard guns only count for one, but the stats only count gun sales, and not gun owners. Its an exaggeration at best, but I will agree, lots of people own guns and some of those guns need to be confiscated for the safety of the public in general. Maybe you should read each story of a male shooting his family and after you reach 100, maybe you might feel some sympathy for the victims considering guys like you make it that much easier for the people who took their lives to own a gun in the first place.
