 More Laws = Less Killing? 
 16 Feb 18 16:53:42 
 
Hello There,

 More gun laws will NOT prevent gun related killings. Change the mentality and
mindset of people and the existence of guns is a moot point. Some decades ago
there used to be a rifle in back window of most pickups. And there was a lot
less gun related killings. There are a number of countries where gun ownership
is a common thing and those same countries have relatively low gun related
deaths. Anyone can justify in their own mind the logic of their own personal
view on the idea of gun control. Myself included. But lets look at what the
reality of what is and what was. Many locations where there have been
increased gun control laws have not resulted in lower gun related crimes.
IMHO, these days we see increased deaths related to guns and need to put the
responsibly on something that explains and accounts for those deaths. We look
outward for a place to put that responsibility when we should really be
looking inward on what we need to change in ourselves.
