A funny side note, (well not actually funny, but you know...) is that shortly after all of the gun ban talk started...one of the first countries to say they wanted a push for gun control in the US, was China. One thing that is also never even considered or even brought up as a part of all of this, is maybe our lack of a gun control or banning, is a very good reason why we haven't fought any battles on our own shores is because other countries do not want to contend with our military, let alone an armed populous. Yeah, we may have stupid people do stupid things with guns, i.e. criminals, murderers and the like....but it is not a mass outbreak or "epidemic" as some would liken it to. Its going to happen with or without a gun involved. And there is also a bigger picture to be looked at, rather then isolated occurances, as tragic as they are.
