[quote=Anonymous]It's culture not guns.  I hate guns but from the perspective that in this country they are used without any sense of purpose or responsibility.  It's not about having them it's about when and how you use them.  I would never want them but that's because I don't feel comfortable using them at all.  We are a society that has some who believe, not believe, want, not want guns.  As such, none of us know what to do with a gun because we have no habits as a culture in working with guns.

It's too late now to take them back.  It's not intuitive but actually the best thing to do logically is train people to use them and develop a gun culture to use them responsibly.  What I'm suggesting is instead of fighting the battle you'll lose if taking them all away, embrace the fact there's an opportunity to educate people and hope more will use guns wisely.  I know it's kinda a pipe dream but that's where we are now dong you think?  So it's about coming up with PR and social norms to have people think of them as what they are - weapons.  You have to take care of weapons or they will take care of you :)[/quote]
