Just saw a piece on the news (NBC) last night.  Last year in LA County alone,
60 children were murdered by their parents.  No gun/knives were used, just
strong armed murder.  70% of these kids were 2 years old or less.  This
is in LA county ALONE.  They said that there are similar trends in other 
areas of the country.  To hell with Gun Control,  let's start a new group
called PCI. (Parent Control Inc).  I want mandatory traing for everyone before
they can become a parent, permits systems on a child by child basis, a 30
day cooling off period before conception, and no children allowed to convicted
felons.  It's obvious that parents are far more dangerous than guns.

Also, CBS is at it again with a special on Kids with Guns.  They had some
bozo from Harvard saying: "We need to remove the guns from the communities".
Not "we need to get the guns from the kids", but instead his cure is to get
rid of all the guns.  They had to use the phrase "Drugs & Guns" at least 5
time.  Got to create that relationship in the viewers mind over and over
again.  

Then they went to a prison/school for hard-core criminals <18 years old.
There were 60 kids in this prison which was described as the worst 60
juvenile offenders in the nation.  Virtually every one was in for murder,
or attempted murder.  They interviewed a couple of these "kids".  One
stabbed a guy through the heart, and the other stabbed a kid in the
eye.  Both basicly said: "I enjoyed doing it.  I wanted to see what it
was like.  It was fun"  and other similar things.  Why the hell weren't
these little bastards sentenced to death?????  One other thought crossed
my mind.  That was, if removing guns from society will STOP violence,
then someone should have told these two little shits as they BOTH used
knives to commit their murders.

On another note:  Here in Colorado, a State Trooper was killed this week
while on a "routine" traffic stop.  The Trooper had stopped a car with
two high school sophmores in it.  The car was stolen, but the Trooper didn't
know it.  He was killed by the kids while sitting in his car, writting
a warning ticket to the driver.  He was shot once in the side of the head.
Police ID'd the suspects when they looked at the name on the ticket, which
was still on the officers clipboard.  The DA is strongly leaning towards
asking for the death penalty.  I hope he does.

Nobody is denying that some kids are getting their hands on guns, and
some kids are committing crimes with guns.  But these kids need to see
that when they commit a violent crime, they get treated like violent
criminals.  A few high profile death sentences might help.  In New York
City, they don't even bother to prosecute kids who bring guns to school
unless a shooting occurs.  What incentive is there to NOT carry a gun
in school, if the worst that will happpen is a hand slap.  If I, as an
adult, were to carry a gun on the streets of NYC, I'd get 2-5 in the
lockup.  These kids get a couple dentions in the study hall. . . . .
