In some cases, there is no way to tell what someone will do or when and sometimes they remain completely off the radar.
People need to be more interconnected and understand each other and what their capabilities are to better understand the dangers that may be around them.

Knowledge is power.

Eaxactly. People want change for the better but the media feeding frenzy on violence is actually feeding mans violent tendencies. We have had those tendencies since early man to survive. The media needs to take their huge responsibility of informing mankind more seriously. As it is now they are driven by ratings/money with no concern of how it effects society. If they could show "Naked Supermodels on trampolines" every 5 minutes to get top ratings they would. There is no thought to the laws of "cause and effect" on society. Profit is the only thought in their minds.

Their lives will be so much better because they banned guns.

Please.

You can't ban everything, and that is the problem. Crazies will just become more creative with their killing sprees by using things such as bombs.

And bombs are easily made by very common materials.

So, good luck to you.

They are still alive aren't they? Bombs are typically the weapon of choice of politically motivated lunatics, spree killers like to use guns, knives or swords. Bombs are too impersonal, they want to be part of the mayhem they cause. I think.

Man, I hope the Chinese government really starts to consider banning cars....

You start letting them put chips in people who have mental problems, the list of illnesses and their symptoms are going to get very creative. I would bet 99% of people would be diagnosed as having some defect. Except our dear leaders of course.

Yep, that's for certain. Look how logical it was to classify serious violent crimes as a "felony" and then having such serious penalties related to being a "felon". Well, take a look at some of the minor crimes of today that will now make you a felon, subject to those same penalties as a violent criminal. THAT will give you a pretty good idea about what to expect of something like this.

BTW, if YOU are in a crowd being attacked by some crazy with a knife, which would YOU rather be: Someone with only a knife also, or someone with a gun?

But but but...I'd rather nobody had anything to be used as self defense because that would mean we are living in a time when self defense is not needed! SMH.....the people inhabiting this world now.....are hopeless. Violence has existed since Cain slayed Abel....yet somehow getting rid of firearms is going to change that.
