Banning gun ownership in one place does not change the lack of industry regulation: currently allowed to sell to anyone anywhere (terrorists? criminals? they don't have to check as long as they're getting paid) which is surely how anyone can always end up getting hold of one.
Also, even if other people in the US were turning victims of Katrina away you shouldn't assume that people in other countries would do the same.
I've seen people come together everytime there is a natural disaster. Unfortunately, people don't seem to do much for each other when there is no disaster... go figure.

Of course! Most people are willing to help those in serious need than what most paranoid sorts are willing to believe. Rob's remark was initially in response to verme's uber-ignorant remark. It wasn't just any state that helped out (on that level...plenty others, including GA, helped on a smaller scale) it was Texas. Rob was just attempting to demonstrate that his own state isn't as uncivilized as many might believe...but as usual, the remark was twisted around for the sake of someone having something to bitch about.
Also, Rob is trying to say (something you seemingly fail to not only believe, but understand all together) guns are readily available even in places with strict laws when it comes to obtaining them. Again, nothing can be done about guns...they've been here for a long time, and they will continue to be. They are already EVERYWHERE....they can not all be CONFISCATED, most that own them will not volunteer to just give them up. Even if one views them as being this awful/terrible thing, the only way to deal with it is to accept it otherwise you are putting yrself through MUCH stress.
It's almost as pointless as a one man war set out to end religion.
+ I've never stabbed anyone, but Susan Atkins said it felt much like stabbing a pillow. This may be because because she MAY HAVE stabbed a certain Sharon Tate in the tummy (as I imagine drilling a knife through a breast plate to be much more difficult....) but whatever.
Read up on how simple it is to make firearms....I suspect even you could build one in yr room for less than 75 dollars worth of materials from yr local hardware store. SO easy....and like I've said before, if it became difficult to obtain 'em (which it won't)...they will become illegally manufactured. We aren't talking about NASA-grade technology...we're talking about something that has been made for how many hundreds of years now? EASY SHIT....
Industry regulation is something that only makes sense to someone that doesn't have any idea how this stuff works.
Why must you twist every thread into something that fits yr own personal interests?
