Hunting is still killing. Guns and other projectile weapons are used to kill. Knives kill but serve ultimately a much more common purpose than self defense. I have some 20 odd sharp knives in my house. None of them are intended to kill nor would I think of using any of them in self defense.

Well, I have a nice katana above the alcove if an intruder without a gun is stupid enough to engage me since I was train in them.

I visualize the police coming to my house after the neighbors call them seeing a man on my floor (have to change the carpet, the wife want to replace anyway) stained in blood from a headless corpse that I decapitated.

Gun, take my stuff when the po po is outside waiting and they will be there in a minute (2 neighbors are cops)

or

No weapons you have a knife and I a sword with training, odds are, you will die.

My dream of killing an idiot.

I hate idiots taking advantage of others.

And they only want to ban guns when it's innocent whites that are the victims of gun violence by other mentally ill whites. The hundreds of shootings in inner city Detroit, Chicago, NoLa, etc not one peep about gun control. But when it's a sad situation of innocent whites getting shot by mentally ill whites, they are all up in arms about gun control.

That's the bigger hypocrisy issue to me. They only give a **** about gun violence when it could happen to them. When the victim could be one of thier family members.

I do think the focus on tighter regulation allows people to focus on that instead of the real problem. I also think we need tighter regulation.

This is true for basically everyone. I wouldn't recommend it as the firmest of footing for your argument.

Also, talk about slippery slope. You guys have managed to take a very tragic event that deals with a German airline and have turned it into a talking point for your agenda. Shame on all of you.

My agenda is mental health.

Does anyone without Mental problems go on a killing spree with a gun?[/QUOTE

DC sniper? That right wing loon in Sweden a few years back?

Although religious or ideologue fanaticism could be a form of mental illness

I think one could make an argument that a large enough percentage of our population has mental problems l, that everything can be traced back and blamed on mental illness to a degree.

I know more people of basic anti-depressants (Paxil, etc) than I do not on any type of antidepressants

No, I stick to sports mainly or CW shows like Smallville, Arrow and Flash. Before it was Stargate and the offshoots, before that Star Trek and their offshoots along with Babylon 5 and Firefly.

You were talking about guns and not being able to own one, well Google the Walking Dead and check out Daryl, he never carries a gun and he does OK.

Yes. I think it's possible.

I don't know. The act of taking another's life just seems so unnatural to me. I find it hard to believe that someone isn't either temporarily insane (crime of passion) or permanently ill.

I think there are reasons to kill a person or many people. Is a leader who orders an attack that kills thousands or tens of thousands temporarily insane or permanently ill? I don't think so. And that's just the obvious one. I also think there are valid reasons on an individual level.

Yes, I would agree there are reasons that hit home at a global level. What I am talking about is the decision made by an individual based on their own personal experiences.
