Quote of the Day

From Kim du Toit:
“I don’t believe that any gun should be in the hand of a thinking, feeling, breathing human being. Americans are by nature filled with rage-slash-fear. And guns are a huge part of our culture. I know I’m crazy because I’m only supposed to say that in Europe. But violence corrupts absolutely.”

In the interview, she talks about how The Brave One was not the correct title for what the movie was really about.
You'll have to click over to see who said that (and read the comments about it).

Hard to imagine the thought process that instantly thinks that guns cause violence instead of people.

I'd suggest Lord N that it was a bit like the statement that nuclear weapons don't destroy cities, people do! Afterall by the same logic why don't we just hand everyone a free ICBM and see what happens!

Ok Gracchii, let's give everyone an ICBM and see how many people get hurt if the people DON'T USE THEM.

How's that?

I think this person has a skewed (to be kind) perspective on America.

And this person was one of my favorite hollywood personalities :(

What would they do then if they didn't have guns?

Just another reason for me not to care about her. I didn't like her in the first place and this sure didn't help.

I love when the anti-gun crowd seems to ignore the tens of millions of guns in the hands of law abiding gun owners that hurt absolutely no one. Daily.

If all guns were to magically disappear right now, the criminals would simply find another tool to use. Bomb, hand grenade, bazooka, sword, knife, bat, golf club, rock or a pointy stick. I hate to tell Ms. Hollywood Liberal but murder was around for thousands of years before guns came along.

Not sure who the 'they' is in your response James.

If it is the law-abiding citizens, then they would simply become victims :)

The criminals would use knives.

Ms. Foster is a smart lady as well as being one hell of an actress. In spite of her intelligence she more than likely is as incapable of understanding of understanding the logic of the Second Amendment as I am of understanding the logic of gun control.

It is an volatile and emotional issue that will likely never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
