    Maybe outlawing guns would reduce accidental deaths but surely not crime or murders. A killer is going to kill, regardless of having a gun or not. By the way, gun laws do not seem to be very effective in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. I would rather be packing heat anyway in case the Pakistani neighbor down the street decides to go zealot on me...

    BS..... you ever heard of a stray bullet killing a child in some gang shooting in Los Angeles California? probably many times!.... how many times has a 6 year old been killed by a missed stab of a knife in a gang fight? Guns=more deaths. And yes it is easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife... so...givin the extra efficiency more guns would result in more murders, especially if you've got a rifle that can unload a full clip of 31 bullets in seconds. Only thing about america is... all the crimals already got guns... so everyone might as well pack their tools as well.

    And you cant call Texans stupid... somehow our economy hasn't been hit like the rest of the U.S. so..... we must be doing something right,

    @Leroy:

    If someone took your guns, it is because you, armed, must be a menace. I have my guns, nobody took them away.

    May God bless Mr. Timms and his family. May he have a speedy and uncomplicated recovery.

    As I grow older, it seems that the entire world is slowly going crazy. There is no human answer for the weirdness and hatreds we now face in this world. When some of humanity thinks killing other people is the solution to problems....where has the sanity gone.
