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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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.
