I was born in 1938, and my dad and friends went deer hunting for food...

Today is gun hunting for people.

All statistics show the 70’s were much worse. We just did not have the internet.

I think most people are in favor of peace. The difference comes in the variety of opinions on how best to achieve peace.

True!
Other than the inner city we are at historic lows for most all violent crimes, we are in a great time to be a pacifist.

I own several firearms as well, and none of mine has ever harmed another human being. Ever.

As long as we let Hollywood glorify violence, this will continue.

Well as long as the people visit the hollywood violence, then it will continue. And as long as the millions support the NRA more guns will be out there for a child to pick up.

Why do people need several? WHy even one, unless a game hunter. And I have a tough time with that in my old years.

On hollywood who employs millions of people, if they only produced peace movies, they would not make money to pay their workers. It's a vicious cycle but I don't support those violent flicks.
