[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, dont read this if you dont get the point.

The point of the blame game is to try to prevent future tragedies. People try to blame the convenient culprit, guns. But if people took responsibility for themselves, their families, and their neighborhood, tragedies could be averted.

I know every one of my neighbors in my one block radius. [b]Bet you anything not one of them is a terrorist. I can also tell you that none of my kids or neighbors kids will kill people. Why? Because I, and people in my family and neighborhood have awareness.[/b]

Nearly Every one of these recent tragedies could have been avoided, such as that batman killer guy, because the signs were there-people didnt act  on the signs.

I believe a good approach would be to hold parents accountable up to a certain age. Remember that kid from bethesda who was making bombs in his garage or something?  i seem to recall the parents were held accountable. (Though cant recall the details.). This is a good start. Would be more effective than gun control. [/quote]

You're a dangerous moron who thinks he can read other's minds, that much is true. People are capable of almost anything. Germans in the 1930's knew their neighbors in a one block radius, too.[/quote]

I dont understand the aversion to the pp. There's quotes in the New York Times of a neighbor that says something like no one really knew her - only rang her bell at Halloween. The lack of a sense of community and knowing your neighbors is a problem. Its always these loners too. Upon reflection everyone seems to say they weren't surprised. Maintaining a connection with members of your community is the first defense and ultimately easier to implement then new laws or overreactions. I honestly don't see how explaining this is worthy of being labeled a moron. And, I bet you as expert sociologists are consulted you will hear a lot more about it. Guns have been available forever in this country but its only recently that these crazy events have been occurring. We need to address the problem. [/quote]

Of course it helps to know your neighbors. The point is you think that you can know your neighbors and still not be aware of whatever twisted thoughts are in their feverish head. 1st PP thinks he knows what his neighbors are capable of based on the fact that he waves to them when he goes to pick up his paper or shares a hot dog with them in his backyard. We have block parties and barbecues in my neighborhood. There are 38 houses on my 20016 block. Do I know every family? No. Even if I did, wtf. That doesn't mean I presume to know what the hell they're really capable of under extreme duress. Again, Nazi Germany. And for what it's worth, southern Connecticut is a haven for German-American immigrants. My family is from there. Many of them are former Hitler youth, and Nazi sympathizers and retired Big Blue execs.[/quote]
