At a recent Wal-Mart meeting.....
"OK, we need to do something easy that will make us look like we care. Anyone?"
"How about if we pull violent video games? Let's see, we could pull this 'Sniper' game."
"Good idea. Wait. How's it selling?"
"It's not."
"Even better. Yank it and issue a press release. Something about 'Wal-Mart is Thinking of the Children', ugh, I'm making myself nauseous."
"Ooooh, this really violent game is about to come out too. Why don't we refuse to sell Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as well?"
SMACK! THUD!
"Unnhhhhhhh..... OK, maybe not. What if we pulled firearms and ammunition?"
WHACK! SMACK! KERPLOOEY!

It really angers me how the US is ready to blame something they have no evidence whatsoever on these killings,yet we know, with %100 certainy that a gun killed these people. Why aren't we pulling guns from the shelves?!

On the other hand, you start yanking criminals, what rights are you hurting?
I've had guns for all my life. I've never had a problem, and I've certainly never used them in a crime. Ditto for my dad. Ditto for his dad.
