NEWS: Connecticut Group Collects 'Violent' Games, Discs to Destroy Them

I do believe people have the right to own firearms, and I see no problem with semi-automatics either.

The problem is how people treat each other, that is the bottom line. We have a society that creates sociopathic monsters like a factory line.

The problems begin early in school with cliques and bullying, and outside of school factors like child and sexual abuse.

Adults in school only pay lip service to bullying. There is no justice in school either. All parties in any conflict are usually found guilty. So if you stand up for yourself against physical harm, the administration will find you at fault also. The school administration would rather you get injured and harmed, rather than you taking any actions to defend yourself.

Guns are not the issue, it is the people and especially the children we discard and allow others to abuse them.

Your correct that the gun itself [is not] the issue. It is the all too easily available access to those guns by the very people you just listed [is] the issue.

Finland and Switzerland have some of the highest rates of civilian gun ownership outside the United States, and yet gun crime in those two countries is extremely rare. Of course, both Finland and Switzerland have things that the United States lacks, such as comprehensive social safety nets and sensible gun legislation.
