Planing Cutter
Do you believe gun control, or the government could have stopped the devastating and recent shootings at VT?
As horrific and unforgivable this act of violence this was, gun control comes to play. We live in a time of blame.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, issued a statement saying, "I believe this will re-ignite the dormant effort to pass common-sense gun regulations in this nation.''
from CNN.com
"The last significant gun control measures to make it through Congress were the Brady bill in 1993 and the assault weapons ban in 1994.
And what happened?
Democrats lost control of Congress for 12 years."
TO the believers of gun control do you really think our government could have prevented this act of violence? And Why?
And if you should say yes, should we also outlaw planes, knives, plant fertilizer containing ammonium nitrate, RDX, mineral oil, and lecithin, and this list goes on for miles.
One bullet usually kills one, two planes kills 2,792 using razorblades from a box cutter.
The one thing I absolutely agree with in your statement is that “We live in a time of blame”. Every time something goes wrong in American society, society has to find something to blame rather than looking at the tough issues.
Would stricter gun control laws or a gun ban have helped prevent this tragedy at VT? Maybe, but my guess is probably not. The shooter appeared to be a mentally unstable individual who was willing to give his life to take another’s life. If a person is determined to kill another, there isn’t much that can be done to prevent them from killing, especially if they have no problems taking out random targets.
If there has been one thing that history has taught us, it is that banning any objects from society doesn’t work. Prohibition not only failed to curb alcohol use, it also brought organized crime to power. The war on drugs made drug lords rich and over flowed American prisons with a ton of drug runners and others who aren’t an incredible threat to society. Murder itself is illegal, but did it stop this guy?
A total ban of guns will probably have the same effect as prohibition. A few organized groups will manage to smuggle weapons into the US. The overall gun ownership might be down, but the ban will make these organized smugglers rich. Guns will be the ultimate weapon of terror in an unarmed society and will probably be highly sought after by criminals.
What about gun control? A further waiting period wouldn’t have helped much as he purchased at least one weapon 5 weeks prior to the event, much longer than any waiting period I am aware of. The guy had a history of mental treatment. The question is asked on the firearms application, but unless a person is checked in involuntarily by the court, it is difficult to trace due to patient confidentiality issues and the HIPA act. If handguns were banned, what would prevent the shooter from using a couple of shortened shotguns? If assault weapons are banned, what will prevent a person from buying a high capacity clip for a semi-auto hunting rifle and shortening the weapon.
At the end of the day, I feel guns are a scapegoat. The problems seen at VT goes much farther than gun regulations. The gun violence problem in this country is multifaceted, but people don’t want to see it that way. Many of the countries that have strict gun control laws have low gun violence rates. However, the same countries usually have excellent social services infrastructures and take very good care of their population. Does strict gun control mean less crime? No! Look at Washington, DC. Look at New York city. The problem has to be addressed with a different mind set. Why do people commit gun crimes? Why do people commit violent crimes in general? What can be done to fix those problems? I believe that if American society will take the time to address social issues that force or encourages people to turn to violent crimes, the gun violence issue will take care of itself. However, America is a fast-food society. As you said, we live in a time of blame. The easiest thing to blame is the guns. After all, they are made to kill.
If society takes away a means to kill, what will happen? Will killing stop or will the people determined to kill improvise and find another way? Until the problem is fixed, putting a Band-Aid on the issue by generating more gun-control legislation won’t change anything.
The Honorable Dianne Feinstein says that she thinks this will reignite the debate for common-sense gun control legislation. Common-sense can’t be legislated. I hope that our elected representatives will take a serious look at the problem and not get tunnel-vision and blame the guns.

how do you cut titanum wire for making jewelery?
hello I am currently planing on buying titanium for making my earwires and I have heard it is ver hard, might een damage my cutters, is there any one out there who has used titanium wire for making jewelery?
if so what do you use for cutting your wire and how dose it affect your tools?
If you are using very sharp edged cutters that work so nicely on copper and silver, don't do them on titanium. If you have snips that handle steel or especially music wire or stainless steel, then the first answer applies - I don't have experience with titanium, but I wonder if he has experience with soft metal snips used by jewelers? However, this http://www.swordforum.com/metallurgy/titanium.html says that pure titanium is quite soft and even alloyed titanium has hardness problems, so it is likely to be okay.
