Concerning the shootings in Binghamton today, I'ld just like to say that this is what is what happens when you have liberal gun laws (and by liberal I mean very little restriction on ownership of guns or on types of guns sold). In Canada, which has reasonable gun laws - which allow for hunting, but restrict handguns and semi-automatic weapons - the death rate from gun violence is obviously much lower! And the typical knee-jerk NRA reaction that says that people kill people, not guns is just ludicrous - it completely avoids the issue of social responsibility for a safe society. This is like saying that people kill people - not planes - regarding 9/11. Does that mean that we shouldn't do anything about terrorists getting on planes or the carrying of weapons on planes?
