Attack gun violence by raising cost of bullets
2008-11-14 13:30:00 This idiot believes that if ammunition was more expensive ($100/a round) people wouldn’t shoot themseleves or each other. So we are going to preven suicide by making it expensive?

Related posts:Resotrative Justice I am not sure that criminals can clean up enough litter or paint over enough graffitti to repair the damage caused by their crimes.

Teens speak up against gun violence in their own TV spots
2008-06-02 03:59:00 Now we can see and hear how teenagers feel about gun violence as they experienced it for themselves, unfortunately. Two things I wish for:1) These tv spots to be aired all over this planet. 2) To hear/see a child say to their parents, "Now that guns have been outlawed, I feel sorry for all of those poor kids who used to experience gun violence." Think #2 cannot happen, my readers? Well I think it can and it WILL, as we evolve into smarter, more compassionate people who are continually inventing better less lethal weapon technology.

Relaxation on Gun Control, Unlicensed Sales Contribute to Gun Violence in O
2008-05-22 22:24:00 Here are a few paragraphs from the article for you to read: Easy access to guns has dire consequences. "There would be fewer fatalities if guns weren't so easy to get," said Deane Calhoun, founder and director of Youth ALIVE!, an Oakland organization dedicated to preventing youth violence. "Kids used to talk about using a knife to go after someone," she said. "And to use a knife you have to look at someone directly and be near to them. With an assault gun, you can just spray ? drive by and spray bullets. You don't have to look at the person." The distance that shooting a gun allows takes away a deterrent: Seeing that your victim is a human being, Calhoun said. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when guns are stored in a home there is a threefold increase in the risk of homicide by someone in that home, and a fivefold increase in the risk of suicide. MY opinion? One day guns will be relegated into the annals of history and parents will say to their children while lo...
Chicago`s Misfire on Gun Violence
2008-04-24 17:44:00 When a rash of gun murders takes place, it makes sense for the police to do one of two things: renew tactics that have been effective in the past at curbing homicides, or embrace ideas that have not been tried before. But those options don`t appeal to Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis.

Gun violence
2007-04-19 18:12:00 Unless you've been living in a cave with your fingers in your ears, you probably know about the recent tragedy that Americans are responding to. Virginia Tech University had one of its students brazenly massacre nearly three dozen people on campus, seemingly without prejudice.The perpetrator of the crime was identified as Cho Seung-hui, a South Korean that moved to the United States in 1992.At times like this, it is amazing to see how people respond. Having something as large as this attack was, shock waves are bound to happen. Personally having been a student at the University of Texas, I immediately thought of the Charles Whitman attacks from the main tower on campus. I passed by that tower daily, and every once in a while I would think what he saw up there, and what passed through his mind that day.I was a senior in high school at the time the Columbine attacks took place. Since it happened in a high school, all public schools around the country took steps to tighten securi...
