WE as a human society have a big problem with violence. I lived in a domestic violent situation ( it is scary as hell), I have seen gang fights and of course our government is really good at being the bully of the block, hurting people, hurt children and murdering people. If a human being wants to hurt or kill someone and is determined to do it they will do it. If they can't find a gun ( be it in their own from their house or off the street) they WILL find another way to do harm or kill. Guns are not the problem, It is our society. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones from a human who used a gun, knife, screwdriver, human hands, etc. But let's look at what the Hell is wrong with our society. To much video games, to much pharmaceutical drugs, to much texting, to much social media, to much bad food, way to many bad influences. The generations that are growing up our, seeing disrespect, selfishness, they see their government get away with killing innocent people, they see how our government treats the world They live so much in a computer their subconscious doesn't even get what is reality. In a video game you can kill and game over. Their characters come back alive just by pushing the reset button. In real life you kill someone they do not get back up... Just two weeks ago ( maybe last week) TWO 12 YEAR OLDS STAB THEIR FRIEND AND LEFT HER TO DIE. If we want a change the violence and murder in our world, than we need to stop blaming the guns, because it goes much deeper than that. The recent shooting here in Oregon is tragic and heart breaking. I have heard the gun came from the house he lived in, I have seen people upset it was so easy for him to get the gun. The young man had the determination to murder someone. If he could not get a gun, he would find a different way to do it. I can only hope that we the humans that live on this earth look into this problem deeper, and stop blaming the tools that were used to harm or murder. The generations that are growing up, need to have classes on helping their community, growing gardens, helping the elderly. They need art, they need nature, they need their parents, they need to have family time, not TV and screen time. Until we look at this problem deeper, the violence will get worse. You can even ban guns and this problem will not go away, because it is deeper. Ban guns, and don't fix the real problem, equals higher knife attacks, ban knife and don't fix the problem, then it will be screwdrivers, etc. I think you got my point. I don't want to see any of your comments,. Don't put one comment on this link. What I want you to do is look at your life. Ask yourself, who have you helped lately, daily, who have you had your kids help daily. When was the last time you sat and talked without screens around you. Have you noticed any sad children, teens or adults around you? How often are you in nature. How often do you exercise, How often do you have your kids exercise, What is family time? Does your child have a friend who is bullied and needs TLC daily. Do you know a bully? Maybe that bully needs help? Peace to you all.... I will leave with this partial report: The UK has extreme gun laws and guess what their knife violence statics are incredibly high. 14,000 people taken to hospital for injuries caused by knives and other sharp weapons last year. According to the latest Department of Health statistics, an average of 38 victims of knife wounds are admitted to accident and emergency departments across the country every day. An analysis of hospital admissions data for England and Wales by the IoS revealed that assaults and injuries from knives and sharp implements, together with sword and dagger injuries, resulted in 12,340 people being admitted last year – 446 of whom were no older than 14. This is an increase of 19 per cent on the 10,372 admissions five years ago. The latest figures from Northern Ireland and Scotland bring the total number of victims in Britain to 13,795 each year. Dr Tunji Lasoye, A&E consultant at King's College Hospital, London said: "In a nutshell the numbers of stab victims coming into A&E have gone up. It used to be that we would see isolated cases at weekends, but now it is nearly every day of the week. And the age of the victims has gone down. We used to see people in their early 20s; now they are in their mid-teens. And 10 per cent of the victims we see now are girls, which wasn't the case four or five years ago." The latest statistics from hospitals in England alone highlight an 88 per cent jump in the number of children suffering stab wounds – from 95 in 2002-03 to 179 in 2006-07. And among 16- to 18-year-olds, there has been a 75 per cent rise from 429 to 752.
