Where there is a will to kill, weapons are easily found It's not necessarily easy to kill at a distance. That ability is what leads many to kill out of fear. Small planes are expensive, hard to conceal, and easily traceable. There are similar problems with other items that could possibly be used as a weapon. TP

I think it's totally unacceptable that 4000 aged 19 and under die from guns each year. And I don't buy this anything can be used as a weapon theory. Guns make killing quite simple and easy. There's no escaping that fact. Of course given Public America's huge gun inventory, she's sitting on mountains of ordnance, explosives, artillery guns and other military gear. Thousands have been under arms and holed up for decades. Now as the economy is going nowhere fast, a multitude of crises are being amplified. Frankly I think it's a powder keg.
