[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663007, member: 1550"] Insane, that really isn't true. A lot of people just go target shooting a few times and then buy a gun, as if they will be as good a shot as the person they are trying to kill. It's a scary situation. Insane, there are many cities in the United States, including several areas of Chicago where I once lived, where it's dangerous to walk around even in the daytime. I fostered two brothers who lived with Grandma and were not allowed to play outisde, except on her balconey, and only before 4:00pm. Kids were shot and killed on the way to school by getting in the way of gangbangers. These boys told me they'd seen a few bodies on the ground on the way to school and they seemed kind of immune to it. Creepy. These kids grow up in war zones due to gunfire. Also kids and adults sometimes have to take cover in their own apartments due to gunfire between gangs that goes through windows. This happens. Could a knife do that? No, a knife is an up close and personal crime. That's why the silly knife comparison is...well...silly. None of the people on this site, defending the right for anyone to own a gun, lives in these areas of our country, but there are a lot of them. Sonic would have grown up in a neighborhood like that if he hadn't been put up for adoption and come to us. Scares me to think about it, I love him so much. [/QUOTE]
