A terrible, terrible tragedy.

[eppie]

And, FWIW, eppie - this is a topic that goes nowhere. It is a deeply embedded American cultural imperative to feel that they must retain the right to own guns. And those Americans that might agree that gun control is a worthy objective will get drowned out in this forum by certain frequent posters. ;)

And the most stupid thing is that I said so myself in my first post in this thread.....but still I couldn't stop myself from posting more replies.....I should work a bit more instead of hanging around:D.

But I must also say it is the nice discussion that I appreciate. Although everybody else is obviously wrong and I'm right I like the arguments used here.....that is what separate this forum from others. (at least I think because I don't visit other forums that much).

And Ashok: first, I think most americans nowadays are not offspring of the founding fathers, and I don't think the ones that are not came to the US because of the nice gun laws.
And the founding fathers also didn't move to the US to have legalized possession of guns.

But I guess I follow shadows advice and wait for the next semi hotbutton thread.
