if guns were outlawed, you'd still be able to get them. easily. like pot, or other illegal drugs. you can get narcotics quickly, within an hour or two. same with guns. unless there was automatic execution for anyone found with a gun, other than law enforcement. then some people would turn in there guns. my teacher brought up that point, and some people still said they wouldn't turn them in, because they have the right to have them...the idea that their right would be taken away is unconcievable to them, which shows how much people take for granted. they are wacked out!
the military thing isn't that scary to me. i don't generally think that military people are better or more trustworthy, more responsible than anyone else. they aren't america's elite, and sometimes tend to be the opposite. the media likes to point out how he was in the military, blah....my dad was too, he's not shooting people. and people shoot inocent people all the time in this country, and have no military background. it just seems like an irrelvent fact for the media to broadcast.
yeah, i'm not that great at musical stuff, but i'm a bit more skilled than the marching and keeping time with claps and snaps.

military history could be kept out of news reports, but the gender of the criminal couldn't really. and i bet any penis amputation would be all of the news, no matter who did the wacking.
people want to give reason to insanity, or whatever drives killers to kill. anything they can grab on to for motivations of "signals" appeases them momentarily. they aren't satisfied with "he's fucked-up-in-the-head insane!" they want to give reason to unrational things, unreasonable things. killers don't think in that way, which is why they study serial killers and such and it's all very interesting, but i'm digressing and going to sleep.
i should post about "controversial" topics more, because people actually say things worth reading! yay.
