because no good can ever come from owning a gun.


Obviously JLB is a city guy and not a country guy. You might think differently if a mountain lion got into the neighbor's goat pen, which has happened at my weekend cabin. There are still bears in Canada right?

Gun deaths in schools are wildly overrated. There are an average of about two deaths per year, driven by "large" incidents once a decade or so. Car accidents to or from school is the main killer.



Ya, I know Columbine was a bad example, and I believe that actually had more to do with two kids being bullied than guns, but, I guess I was thinking of those other kids in the inner cities who use guns as an alternative to a good old fashioned scrap.

In my neck of the woods, Toronto and Vancouver, the gang thing is getting out of control. Kids are starting to kill each other in record numbers. I know these kids will always be able to find access to guns, but, I'm just thinking that if the access was limited, by any means necessary, then it might help the problem.

I'm probably talking outta my ass on this issue, but the sheer volume of guns on city streets is scary, and sadly, they seem to falling into the wrong hands. Some old hunter enjoying a weekend with his friends, that's not so bad -- it's the inner city kids hunting other kids for coats and shoes and shit, that's what scares me.
