*O.T.* <Aren't guns fully imbedded in our culture>

They are..but then again that is true for other cultures which have a lot less violence. The unfortunate thing is we are a nation which is lacking in the mores and morals categories.

One other item relative to the gun issue is I believe the intent of the right to bare arms was to help ensure the people could keep the government in check.

All this being I don't believe there is a need for automatic weapons, certain hand guns, etc, etc. However until we find a way to drastically reduce or eliminate the predators of our society some of these weapons do allow the more vulnerable people an opportunity to defend themselves (i.e. rape, robbery, etc.)
