Guns are more of a problem than people who rob, kill, rape, sack, loot, and pillage remorselessly?
http://www.pri.org/theworld/?q=node/7997The memorial at Murambi sits on a hilltop near the town of Gikongoro in the southwest. The site was supposed to be a technical college. The campus was still under construction when the genocide began. Thousands of Tutsis sought refuge in the empty buildings. They were slaughtered there. The bodies were dumped into mass graves.
"They continued the killings and when almost everybody was dead, then they started going from person to person, looking for money in the pockets, looking for good clothing they could remove, and the shoes, earrings, necklaces, and then they went into the rooms where there were women and children and then hacking them to death with machetes, axes....." - -Emmanuel Murangira
There are people on this planet that would gleefully burn your house down with you in it and piss on the ashes, but what a wonderful universe it would if there were no guns! But then neither crime nor the criminals that commit those crimes appear bother you as much as the mere existence of firearms.
A million Tustis hacked to death with machetes, axes, and farm implements, nary a gun in sight. Maybe they were 'emboldened' by hatred? Zero points awarded.
