While I am home tonight, due to a very painful toothache, I decided to look around on the internet for things that make me more upset than I currently am, just for fun!

Here is an article about avoiding the scapegoat blame of video games Causes Violence and blames another scapegoat – guns. Apparently, if we were to increase gun control then we would have a better society.
Face it, people hurt and kill people because people WANT to hurt and kill people! This has always been the case and it will always be. If we did not have any guns we would find other instruments of pain.
Video games are easy to blame because they are a source of entertainment that few people properly understand. Many people who are ignorant about games think they use mind control through repetition to force people to commit violence. If this sounds ridiculous, go and ask some people, and wear an anti-games shirt to push them to be honest about their feelings.
Guns are instruments of war and since that is a part of human nature and since conflict is a part of any living thing, guns or the common weapon will be here to stay. People will never be able to prevent guns from being brought into their country, or prevent somebody from using one.
Violence is something we cannot prevent if we continue to finger point like this. We need to educate, take responsibility, and remove the ‘good decent soul’ portion of our societies teachings because deep down, you and I, we are all able to do horrible things and we know it. You are not a sinner, you are a living person and you will defend what you believe in, if it is your belief in god or belief that you should protect the ones you love. The truth is, if somebody were about to hurt somebody you loved, you could do horrible things to protect them.
This is not to say that I am pro gun, I am from Canada and we do not see very many guns. I believe in the gun registry and think owning a gun for personal protection is a way to only look for trouble.
