People are killing People !

Hi,
Yep. I remember from Sunday school how Cain shot Able.;)

Ah I think once again you are the winner.:) You cover all my thoughts so well with this. People have been killing people ever since there have been people. I'm pretty convinced they will continue to kill people as long as there are other people.

And the gun isn't the first weapon to be looked at like it is either. Flatware was invented to keep people from caring knives (which they used to eat with and if they got pissed generally from too much alcohol, kill each other at the same table). There are proclamations from years past about short bows, crossbows and other weapons because if people just didn't have them they wouldn't be killing each other. Humans are clever and have been clever ever since there have been humans and one of the ways they apply that cleverness is to find more inventive ways to kill other things and other people.

Tragic? Yes Unexpected and new? No. Something to be aware of? Yes.

But as Jester said society seems to be going in the right direction as far as keeping murder rates and violent crimes down (though if you classify war as a crime that may skew things).

Oh well. I had to post because well I need to try and help get to that 100 posts that Bolty wants. :) See it was tough to tell that I was spamming to feed the troll wasn't it. :):D
