Resurrecting a recurring discussion:

Not trying to pick a fight but did you hear about the guy in Japan that stabbed 29 kids and killed 8 after he forced his way into a grade school?

Now, not to hammer a point, but he proves that anyone with a deranged mind and a desire to commit homicidal acts can do so, with or with out a gun. I think that this shows that the sickness is in a society and not in the inanimate
object known as the gun.

I was waiting for someone to bring this up. I agree with you: the world is full of nutcases and that guy could have very well rolled into school and beat kids to death with a steel dildo instead of stabbing them or getting a gun and shooting them.

When was the last time a kid walking down the street got accidentially killed in a gang stabbing? Lots of drive-by knifings these days? So we say that people are just going kill kids anyway so we might as well just let them have their guns?

Again, as I've said before, guns serve no productive purpose in society.
