Nineteen people were shot across the South and West sides from Thursday evening through early Friday morning -- 13 of them wounded over a 30-minute period, authorities say.

That's ridiculous. The recent shootings are going to force Obamas gun ban bill down the throats of congress. Every time their's a shooting more and more people want to ban guns. I'm just afraid that's what the government wants. With the Aurora, Empire state building, and trayvon Martin shooting they don't have much of a choice. The government is getting put ( or putting themselves) in a corner were they don't have much choice.

My guess is that the government will eventually realize that gun control will make no difference. One of the things citizens pay them to do is protection. Gun control is not working, what are the "protectors" going to do now?
Maybe we just need a deep thinker... Someone that can really fly outside of that proverbial box.edit on 24-8-2012 by Symbiot because: (no reason given)

They lack the man-power and more importantly that would cause an immediate rebellion among the nations populace, in my opinion. Moreover that's not really any different, only more of the same to the extreme.

I think the people in the US government and governments around the world are not any smarter than their citizens. While I'm quite sure they'd like people to think they know what they're doing, they don't. We're all just flying by the seat of our pants. The human race did not come with an instruction manual.

Sure sure, I'd like to see what this government can come up with. If they're so smart then why are anti-depressants such a big seller? If they're so smart then why do they lack the ability to unify the country?
