Saying that private citizens don't ever need firearms, is not at all true.

Now, assault weapons? Or Automatics? The only purpose is to kill. And not kill as in hunt, because those weapons destroy the animal beyond recognition. Kill as in kill.

That NRA thing really disturbed me. Advocating that.... that "idea" would cost at least $6 billion. And it's already been proven worthless by Columbine. Putting the blame on a game no one has ever heard of that is a decade-old flash game on a website, that no one had likely seen in years, is the icing on the cake. Especially when the game itself is the opposite of what they were saying, lol - the "victims" are more armed than the "shooter." True enough. There are mitigating circumstances. But if you have a stalker, the solution is to go to the police, not shoot him. Though, admittedly, they can't do anything unlesss said stalker actually does something.
