I would definately point my fingers to the gun advocates there. If you look at the news recently .. the gun violence has almost doubled since the Clinton era. I mean in BOSTON alone close to 60 have died this yr due to gun violence... and its only APRiL 2007(have not even half yr mark yet). As long as people have easy access to guns ... this is not going to stop. ITs obvious all the restrictions, and background checks are not working. This brings an interesting point to my mind totally off the subject. Nepal is a very good example of what guns to a society. If you look at Nepali society prior to 1990.... we were virtually free of gun violence. YEah there were scufles on the streets but it always ended up in a fist fight(SHINGALL SHINGALL) or worse it could be was a knife fight(Chura). JUST LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF NEPALI BEING KILLED BY NEPALI SINCE GUNS BECAME ACCESABLE TO PEOPLE. VIOLENCE HAS REACHED TO A POINT WHERE WE AS NEPALI PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN OUR HISTORY.
