Re: Oregon shooting

[(Anonymous)]

I live in the U.S. You raise a good point about the idea of a "healthy gun culture" varying from place to place. And I do appreciate you bringing up the other side, the grey, because you're right, and that should be remembered. Most gun control advocates here in the States do not want to ban guns completely.

Heck, some gun control advocates own guns themselves-and the fact they know how to use them responsibly is part of the reason, if not the whole reason, why they support gun control in the first place. So it is good to have posts like yours, so that we can remember that and remind people who are paranoid about the idea of guns being completely taken away that we know not all gun owners are just "Woohoo, shoot 'em up!" cowboys.

You've hit the nail on the head as to the difference in attitude, though. So long as we in the States view gun ownership as a right, and interpret the Second Amendment as many do, that is going to be a major roadblock to implementing any real change on the issue here. It's not impossible-if we get the right people involved, perhaps someday, FINALLY, we can make some progress.

Until then, though, we have to sort out our attitude about "rights" versus "privileges/choices". And that may take a while, sadly.

And of course, the criminal aspect is another issue unto itself, as there's so many issues that can tie into that part of things, too.
