The media really deserves allot of responcibillty for the misguidance of the populace, not only does it pimp the fraudulent "findings" of others, it creates its own aswell, coupled with the vast quanteties of people who's sould view and opinion on the world and politics stems from TV, and what it tells them, you have disaster on youre hands, mass brainwashing, or should i say indoctrination.
I can tell you one thing, all the people i have talked to who where pro-gun, have all studied this for a long time, whilst all the people i have talked to who where anti-gun, have done little to nothing to educate themselves about the topic.
Someone tell you "guns kill people, therefor they are evil" on the TV, and you know what? that sounds logical, guns are pretty good at killing people, so they must be evil, because killing is bad, and thats what most people imediately tell themselves.
But they do not see the further consquences, guns have been invented, they are part of our world now, and there will allways be a need for weapons, our basic human instincts are preprogramed to make and use tools and weapons, that is the gift we traded fangs, claws and incredible running speeds for, and therefor, guns will be part of society legally or not, as will "bad people", they wont go away, and when you mix them with guns, but dont give them to the "good people" aswell, you set youreself up for disaster, mix that once more with a government lead by one of the "bad people", and you have the perfect demoside cocktail.
We cannot get rid of guns, and we cannot get rid of evil, so then by all means, lets arm ourselves so we can fight it wherever it pop's up.
Annother thing that doesent help here, is that Hollywood has forced a totally scewed idea about what a gun is onto people, if you ask most people about what happens when someone is shot, they will answer "they die", well yeah, that posibillity is indeed there....13% of the time, the remaining 87% of the time, they just get hurt.
Spearing someone with a broad sword is more likely to kill them then shooting them with an AK-47, especially in todays civilian society, where an ambulence can be on the scene in 20 minutes, in war things a different, but if you get shot on the street, theres a 87% chance that you will live, thouse are great odd's, but most people still think all weapons are "one shot, one kill".
