Bang.

I'm for banning certain types of guns. We know, if given the opportunity, weapons can be made out of nearly anything, and that includes glass guns, plastic guns, etc. But it's interesting that even with the plans on creating a gun that can go through airport security circulating online, people haven't taken up the plastic call enmass. maybe it's due to convenience and price; if you can go to the corner store and get a candy bar *and* a gun, then there's something wrong (IMO).

I'm ok with guns for hunting. Most countries have that. But I don't see a lot of nations quibbling over semi-automatics or "not-quite-semi-automatics-but-they-do-the-same-thing" weapons as being outlawed in the general public. I think most countries see the value of protecting their citizens over hardware, but hey. I just live here.

I had another idea, though: let them keep their guns, but make the bullets so ridiculously expensive that only the rich can buy them. Or, you can purchase one bullet for your semi-automatic for $1000.00. Or just outlaw certain bullets. 

'Course, then people will start beating each other with them, but you'd still have to get close enough to do damage.

I keep seeing people's slogans that more guns will make people safer...but I don't see it. I do see a lot of ya-hoos holding guns up in the air during celebrations, forgetting that ol' principle that what goes up comes down. I also see a lot of road rage where shooting the driver who cut someone off as "justifiable." I very, VERY rarely see situations where guns solved an issue with someone who had murderous intent. That's so rare it's a Lifetime movie special.

Anyway. I'm pro-gun control and pro-any bullets that fire faster than you can blink, outlawed.
