[Marxism] 'Negroes with Guns' - prologue and Chapter One

[David Walters]

Walter, I agree that Columbine wasn't about drugs or crime, per se. 
Neither was Va. tech. Neither was the massacre of dozens of school kids 
in Scotland 10 years ago where guns are completely banned nationwide. 
How'd that happen? Because guns can't be banned. The recent increases 
(actually it's 20 years now) in Britain of gun violence ... extremely 
small still by US standards, shows how flaky gun laws, like drug laws, 
are (in fact, guns are often smuggled in with the drugs). The causes are 
societal, not because of the hardware out there, *legally*.

It is highly unlikely that Virgina Tech (which, btw, BANNED guns on 
campus, the whole lot of good it did) would of happened had the state 
had a law against selling guns to mental patients. That is the kind of 
gun laws we do need. If they had that law, it is likely that this would 
not of happened. I can only wish...*wish* that someone didn't take that 
ban as seriously as they did and carried a weapon that could of, saved 
everyone else. But no, no one did that, unfortunately. People are too 
law abiding in this case. But I wish someone among those students 
trapped in classrooms *waiting to die* had access to a hand gun.

I don't disagree with the whole culture of violence the US spreads. But 
little of that effects the 100 million gun owners in the US or forces 
them to do nasty things with those guns. It's a very very small number 
of people who commit gun violence out of all the gun owners most do so 
legally and with responsibility. So...what is it about these people you 
don't think should own guns? I just don't get it?
