this is me...not surprised.
BBC posed a question about the Virginia Tech killings on their website. The average age of the commenters was about 11 and it’s sad to see how brainwashed kids are these days. Many of the responders are from London and were calling for gun bans in America despite the plight that they are in due to their own ban on guns.
Here is a recent article about the crime rates in peaceful, gun-free London. Murders are out of control, and it seems that the old addage “if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” is ringing true with our friend across the pond. In relation to those criminals who have given up their guns, I was not surprised to learn that knife slayings now outnumber firearm slayings three to one in Britain. It isn’t the weapon that kills, it’s the person! Take away a person’s weapon, and he’ll simply grab the next suitable tool that’s available.
It's simple: criminals prey on the weak and unprotected. Guns in the hands of responsible citizens can erode the advantage that a 35 year-old rapist has over a 22 year-old woman. An 88 year-old grandmother with a handgun is as formidable an opponent as the 18 year-old thug who's breaking into her house.
And for those of you who think that the police will save you from violent crime, well, Robb Allen said it best...

Excellent post, Phil.
The glimpse into the mind of the youth in this world is startling, at best. Thank you to all the liberal activists who helped install these ideals into impressionable minds.
Still, they accuse the conservatives of brain-washing...amazing.
