i know it's cliche, but i didn't want to get into the specifics.....

i grew up with guns all around me.... learned early on how to use them, respect them, and respect the damage they can do. learned that results of gunplay can be immediate, final, and life-ruining.....

whether its media/video game (GTA San Andreas, for eg.) desensatization to violence, rap music influence, etc., people quit appreciating the lethality of weapons, and quit respecting the value of human life..... no easy answers here. I'll just keep on protecting myself as best as I can, guns or no guns.......

I feel ya with the guns, since I was 11yrs old I have been around guns. I grew up with them and the idea that they should be treated as any other tool. It is shame that when one tool (such as guns) are abused, we seek to outlaw said item. Which, as history lets us now, does not work.
