    REGARDING:
    “People will always be able to get a weapon of some sort to commit violence on other people.”

    And if you magically could eliminate all guns forever, they would go back to concentrating on knives, clubs, fists, wires, ropes,hammers, teeth.

    Disarming the honest works in the favor of the dishonest.
    Disarming the weaker works in the favor of the cruel stronger.

    David for not stealing from teachers’ purses
    or shooting at people later

    I comprehend Fred’s frustration. Now I don’t say this to dispute Fred because his frustration is completely valid; but It doesn’t matter where he got the gun; or how he got the gun. People will always be able to get a weapon of some sort to commit violence on other people.

    Law abiding Americans be warned: Criminals will never obey the law.

    This guy has been arrested eight times in the past three years.
    Should have been in jail instead of on the streets with a gun.
    Where did he get the gun?
