My next door neighbor got shot!

You kill a lot less people when all you have is rocks.

Nice point, Mr tw.

Oh, in a regular battle or something, I'd much rather be on the side which has guns, rather than the side which has rocks.

My bias comes from a terrifying incident in my own life when an ex-boyfriend went psycho on me and tried to strangle me with his bare hands. That boy didn't need a gun - no siree. I almost ate the big cookie that time.

Although, then again if he'd had a gun I might not be here for sure. I can see both sides of the question, I guess.

I feel so sorry for Brenda. She must have been absolutely terrified. And I wonder if she'll ever be able to work again after her injury. I feel scared just having been the next door neighbor.

How awful Sam... I feel bad for both of you. I'm trying to decide if it would be more/less traumatic to be attacked by a random stranger instead... I guess it doesn't matter.

Agreed......but the degradation of society values is also a big factor to be taken into account. Sure there would have been lesser domestic violence I guess had there been guns back in days of just rocks.
(I can't help imagining Alexander standing with an automatic rifle though
