Don't have to kill something with a gun. They are great for target practice, the same like archery. It's even a sport.

Removing freedoms can always begin small. Like the snowflake the starts the avalanche. Start small then next time there's a precedent to build on it. It's divide and conquor. Don't have to remove freedom in one stroke, can do it gradually. For instance, put face recognition cameras in sporting events to curve crime by searching for known troublemakers. Then later put cameras at other public places, like street cornors, saying there's been success at the sporting event, so there would be greater success on the street. Or introduce tracking devices in schools then later to a larger population citing the success it has in schools. Always start small then build on it. Once there's a precedent, people are often more willing to accept more changes gradually.

Don't forget that subway gas attack thing in Japan during the 90's.

More ppl die in car accident than some madman going on a shooting spree. Anyway, no one talks about banning driving, which has also been used as a weapon.

I was listening last Sunday on the News, just flipping channels and heard someone say Europeans tend to think America is rather conservative, and the Middle East tend to think America is too liberal.

Also this week some bee researcher was on the News saying there's been a large drop in honey bee population which bee researchers believe is being caused by cell phones. That the signals are saturating and confusing the bee's ability to navigate.

And the most important point I wish to make, "Roman Holiday" is a darn good movie.

Lighten up ppl! :-)
