Olddude, with respect to your opinion. I have to point out a couple of things. A very small percentage of kids from every type of home are murderers. A lot of murders are committed by middle class people, Colimbine and VT come to mind off hand. I am for strict regulation of guns designed to kill people, hand guns, assault rifles, sawed off shotguns. I am all for the well regulated private ownership of hunting equipment.

The standard for the carrying of a gun, in terms of safety training, insurance and safety regulation should be at least as strict and for the operation of a motor vehicle.

I don't think it is viable to try to control gun violence by the imposition of values. But that is just my opinion.
