  • Hard News: Cultures and violence, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Quote from the article:

    “Guns are why we’re free in this country, and people lose sight of that when tragedies like this happen. A gun didn’t kill all those children, a disturbed man killed all those children.”

    Scary.

  • Hard News: Cultures and violence, in reply to James W,

    Interestingly, the authors of 'Freakonomics' provide a pretty strong argument for abortion as the driving factor behind the drop in violent crime in the US.

  • Hard News: Cultures and violence,

    I have to laugh when I hear the, 'guns don't kill people, people kill people', line. No, gun regulation won't solve the underlying issues that cause some maladjusted and/or mentally ill adolescents to go on a rampage. However, there's a good chance that strict gun regulation would prevent the easy access to automatic weapons enjoyed by your average American mass-murderer. Adam Lanza couldn't have slaughtered two dozen children with a potato peeler.
