They are a great bunch and can distinguish very easily. I don't think the epidemics we are seeing is down to video games or films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Accidental and domestic shootings alone would ensure the rate went up if guns were around the house.

I for One would have shot someone had I had a gun at the time...and on several occasions. That said, i should be thankful i'm not doing 30 years inside. But i have to live with the fact that i don't have the satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, people doing the stabbings would use guns in many instances, if the availability was the same as the usa. But I'm not sure if of the purpose of the original question.
