I saw a bumper sticker today that said ATTITUDES ARE HANDICAPS. It's attitudes, not guns, that create all these deaths. With the possible exception of a small child accidently shooting a playmate, it is the wrong headed thinking of the mind behind the gun that must change. Guns are rare in England, so, gun related deaths are also rare in England. But, if the English had the same mind set that we do, there are plenty of other weapons that they could carry and use. Let's face it..we are a violent society. That is the main reason for shootings. The secondary reason is, we can get a gun to carry out our violent tendencies.
