Breaking: 6 kids shot while getting off of a school bus in Las Vegas.
Fuck, maybe an armed society isn't a polite society.

1. If they'd had guns
they could have defended themselves - if they hadn't shot each other over milk and graham crackers, that is.

Violence breeds violence. It's so friggin' simple.

3. Yeah...I'm definitely not anti-gun, but it is difficult not to notice that
recently there sure are...a lot of people getting shot.

4. And if the attackers had an RPG, they wouldn't have had to wait for anyone to get off the bus.

13. Is that why people think that playing RPGs leads to violence?
Because they think that kids are actually playing with rocket propelled grenades?

15. Thans for the reply,
I'm glad RPG's cant be bought at HomeDepot. Unfortunately if someone really wanted to do some damage, they could make their own.
I hope it doesn't get that bad out there.
