[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1673361, member: 24816"] This issue, like any other has many direct and indirect factors as possible causes or eventual repercussions. I do not believe that banning guns or certain types of guns is a good solution. There are some factors that should be addressed though. I believe that as a society as a whole people are being raised in an environment that shelters from responsibility and personal responsibility. In daily life the inundation of violent content on TV movies and video games is desensitizing the younger generations. Now add a growing number of disgruntled folks who are easily motivated and manipulated and there is quite a number of potential troublemakers. Granted very few of these would take any acts that far but the potential is there. I grew up around people that all had firearms whether it be for hunting, varmint hunting, or for protection if the need arose. That was instilled and respected. It’s a hard subject as now it’s so divided and political. If society were to say that certain people cannot legally have a gun, where does that begin or end? If a certain type is banned where does that end? As political as it’s gotten something will eventually likely be done legislatively and my hope is that if it comes to be it would be as minimal as possible as far as affect on gun owners and hopefully effective in addressing the most likely problematic scenarios. I really do believe that other areas of activity in our society need to be addressed simultaneously if not first. [/QUOTE]
