Maybe the U.S. just has the highest publicised murder/crime since our media displays it so well.

Yeah look at all those un-educated middle easterns they cant blow themselves up!  Just think what an educatd Asian can do.  You know they created this computer thing you typing on, ohh and every other electronic gadget out there.  They don't know anything.  You dont think if he blew himself up in the middle of a rally or sporting event that he wouldn't kill more than 33 poeple.

America invented the computer.

right to own a gun if they go through the LEGAL process of getting it, but otherwise I don't think it's right.  It's a form of protection and goes with out history and militia.

you can legally own a giant water-cooled .50 caliber machine gun, or a WWII .55 anti-tank rifle...that isn't a form of protection. People use it for recreation too, just because it's legal to own it doesn't mean it's necessarily a means of protecting themselves.

Maybe owning a pistol if you're a body guard or something, but people really don't need guns to protect themselves. They just like them, purchase a lot of them, and some go crazy and kill lots of people.

Sure it's a protected right, but it doesn't mean it's necessary to protect yourself from the world.

I didn't say it's only purpose was a form of protection, did I?  I just gave in instance in which one would inquire to own a gun.

I know that my uncle and many other people have semi-automatic guns and other things as showcase items.  I think the main focus should be put on people's psychological health and a better improvement on deterring that before we look at the substance for which they use to kill people.  Hell maybe if someone could have gone and put him into counseling AND MADE SURE HE WENT or something, then maybe this whole thing could have been prevented.

nope, and neither did I. But that's people's main excuse for buying some crazy over the top weapon, like buying an SAW machine gun or something. People would say why do you have that, "oh you know, protection." Or, why do you have that .50 caliber hand gun? "you know, protection."
I'm just saying people go over board all the time when they buy firearms, most say it's for protection but you honestly don't need that kind of stuff unless you're being attacked by a mob or something.

America invented the computer.

Well I was kinda talking about today, not the past.  The latest technology seems to be coming from Asian countries.  Maybe its cheap labor!  But really the Americans?  I don't know help me out..."Many consider Englishman Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine back in 1837 to be the first computer."  

[*MAFIA* Beatlejuice]

Ha nice one Lightning.  But does it really matter who invented the computer?  The internet is what is more important, and we all know who invented that - Al Gore.  Yeah I know, with a compuer the internet wouldn't exist, so the computer is more important, but still, I don't know how much I'd use my computer if I didn't have internet.

Virginia Tech anyone?
