[Vision2020] Why 30 times more in the U.S.?

[Kai Eiselein, editor]

1: Lack of discipline and supervision by parents.
2: Lack of parents
3: Lack of discipline by schools.
4: Lack of being instilled with a sense of right and wrong. (You know, I'm 
OK, your OK. The space you are in is where you need to be right now.)
5: Too much TV
6: Not enough community service.
7: Drugs (Including alcohol)
8: Broken mental health system
9: Broken court system.
10: Non-enforcement of gun laws.
The list could go on and on.
Guns are not evil, they are inanimate objects only controlled by the user. I 
have never seen, nor heard of, a gun jumping up and killing someone.
There are far more deaths involving automobiles, yet no one screams out to 
ban them, even if they are used in crimes.
Cars are viewed as "safe" while guns are demonized by many, including law 
enforcement in big cities. Calling semi-automatics, automatics. Calling many 
of them "assault weapons". Hell nearly every large caliber rifle out there 
was, or was based on, a miltary "assault rifle".
The 30-30, 30-06, .308, .223, 6.5 X55, 7.62, all had miltary applications 
regardless of whether they were lever or bolt action or semi or fully 
automatic.
All were "assault weapons" in their time.
