Guns have no place in civilized societies, or societies that hope to be civilized.

Americans aren't armed to the teeth because they believe they wory about the government. They're armed because their worried about a kid or group mugging them. Guns don't get rid of the economic inequity that leads to violence.

The annual ammount spent on guns could RID THE WORLD OF THAT INIQUITY!
