    True story, ok?
    We were talking today in my American Government class about guns and other weapons.
    I decided to be an idiot and actually SAY what I believed about guns and guns ownership.
    I believe that all the guns in the world should be destroyed. If no one had any weapons like guns and stuff, there'd be no war.
    Then someone asked what about guns in the other countries, I replied that they should get rid of their guns too. Then I asked why do we need guns to defend ourselves if no one else had them?
    And guess what happened?
    They laughed.
    All of them starting laughing hysterically and called me a hippie (not in the good way)
    What's so funny?
    Why can't we all live in peace like I dream....
    To quote a good song, "What's so funny about Peace, Love and Understanding?"
    Sometimes i don't understand who people can be so mean....

    I'm sure they felt your sentiment while admirable, was fantastic.

    If you were saddened by their cynical response, then I'm afraid your kinda naive too.

    Nothing wrong with that. I dream an end to violence too.

    Now you're thinking far.

    But shotguns are not the problem.

    it is sad, but there really is no chance for world peace so it is very unrealistic, not to mention the fact that in your post, all you said is that we should destroy all the guns, which would just leave people at the mercy of people with other weapons...

    The method of world peace by everyone deciding in one day that violence doesn't solve problems...

    When it is the very system by which to instill civil order in civilization for a thousand years, is sill. Of course the government will still have guns to control us. Of course criminals will still have guns to control crime.

    And you're asking that these people just stop without any intermediate steps, like working to alleviate poverty, and try to bring more understanding between nations, to try to increase the amount of food, and increase people educations.

    But rather saying, hey let's not have guns and agree to never have war, I'm white and my family loves me... that is naive.
