It just breaks my heart to hear these things. It seems like there is a lot of crime against children in America. I guess it goes on all over the world though.

The problem is that even kids can get hold of them and create mayhem. Apparently a 12 year in the States, just recently fired one off in a school. Imagine if he was a crazed lunatic bent on shooting as many kids as possible. It’s not just the fact that criminals find it easy to get guns.

That would introduce an element of doubt. It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of legal right. What seems to be the problem is that the right is actually hard to enforce, which means that criminals - who seldom bother with obtaining the needed permits first - are nearly certain that their victims will not be able to shoot back. The 12 year old might still have been shot. But his attackers might never have left the scene if onlookers had been able to respond in kind. Difficult to make hard & fast rules, but I notice that Brits are finding that armed crime is on the rise, too. Could it be because the mere presentation of a firearm virtually ensures success in a criminal endeavor since no one else will be able to respond? <em>BillinDetroit's last blog post..<a href='http://nmwoodworks.com/life/?p=69' rel="nofollow">Blogging angst resolved (sort of)</a></em> No, Americans do not “believe it is their constitutional right to carry arms”.
