tenete questo testo per ribattere a qualche anti armi che tira fuori questo
massacro.

Darrell Scott is the father of Rachel Joy Scott, one of the students
murdered at Littleton, Colorado's Columbine High School on April 20, 1999.
Mr. Scott's son, Craig, miraculously survived the massacre, but witnessed as
two of his friends were shot to death in the school library. On May 27th,
Mr. Scott testified in Washington, DC before the Subcommittee on Crime of
the House Judiciary Committee. Following is his statement:
Since the dawn of creation there have been both good and evil in the hearts
of men and of women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of
violence.
The death of my wonderful daughter Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of the
heroic teacher and the other children who died, must not be in vain. Their
blood cries out for answers.
The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out
in the field. The villain was not the club he used. Neither was it the NCA -
The National Club Association. The true killer was Cain and the reason for
the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.
In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly
fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of
the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to
represent or defend the NRA, because I don't believe that they are
responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore, I do not believe that they
need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's
murder, I would be their strongest opponent.
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy - it was a
spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame
lies. Much of that blame lies here in this room. Much of that blame lies
behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves.
I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. This
was written way before I knew I would be speaking here today:
Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air,
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer,
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die,
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question, "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed,
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!
Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, soul, and
spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our makeup, we create
a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc.
Spiritual influences were present within our educational systems for most of
our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological
seminaries. This is a historic fact.
What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God and in
doing so, we open the doors to hatred and violence.
And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs, politicians
immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to
pass more restrictive laws that continue to erode away our personal and
private liberties.
We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been
stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who
spends months planning this type of massacre.
The real villain lies within our own hearts. Political posturing and
restrictive legislation are not the answers.
The young people of our nation hold the key. There is a spiritual awakening
taking place that will not be squelched!
We do not need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television
evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not need more
million-dollar church buildings built while people with basic needs are
being ignored.
We do need a change of heart and a humble acknowledgment that this nation
was founded on the principle of simple trust in God.
As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two
friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in
school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right!
I challenge every young person in America and around the world to realize
that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School, prayer was brought back to
our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in
vain.
Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation
that violates your conscience and denies your God-given right to communicate
with Him.
To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA, I give to you a
sincere challenge: Dare to examine your own heart before you cast the first
stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain. The young people of this country
will not allow that to happen.

questo padre, riguardo alle armi e a come pensano gli Yankee.
e' normale... come in tutte le cose
se non vuoi che tuo figlio diventi un ubriacone non gli chiudi a
chiave l'armadietto dei liquori, ma lo educhi a non abusarne.
Se un obeso deve dimagrire non gli incateni il frigorifero, ma lo
educhi a misurarsi...
Se uno non vuole gente violenta togliendo le armi questi restrano
violenti lo stesso.
Il problema non e' che sono armati, ma che sono violenti.

io purtroppo non ci capisco niente...mi potresti fare un riuassunto di due
righe in cui riassumi cosa dice quest'uomo?
grazie.

 
Credo che i nostri amici di oltreoceano abbiano qualche lieve problema di 
identità religiosa. 
Mi dispiace, ma non terrò il testo di un integralista di nessuna fatta 
neppure se sembra tirare acqua al mio mulino. Sarebbe un po' come fare 
come la rana che porta a nuoto lo scorpione dall'altra parte del fiume, 
storia che gli americani amano presentare in tutte le salse.

Secondo la logica (???) di certi tizi, vanno proibite le armi perchè un
fuori-di-testa ne ha usata una in modo improprio. Allora per coerenza vanno
bandite le automobili perchè settimanalmente provocano decine di morti e
chiuse le chiese perchè le acquasantiere sono pericolanti e il prete in
genere non ha il pda (porto di acquasantiera) ... :o)))

L'uomo che scrive quella lettera appartiene ad un movimento 
politico/religioso a noi estraneo, che ha l'obbiettivo di trasformare gli 
USA in una teocrazia o giù di lì. Tirare fuori una lettera del genere 
vorrebbe dire mettere mano a una diatriba che a noi europei non 
interessa, e che non ci riguarda e che pochissimo ha a che fare con le 
armi e molto con il livore di chi vorrebbe un'America decisamente diversa 
dall'attuale... in negativo.
Quando parla di libertà, parla di libertà solo per i Cristiani, 
Protestanti e Anglo-Sassoni. Quindi... non è roba adatta ai nostri 
problemi.

problemi.
e poi l'integralista sarebbe lui...

Eh, vabbè... con gente del genere io ci ho parlato. Sai cosa vuol dire 
che è impossibile fare una caricatura del loro pensiero? Qualunque cosa 
tu possa inventarti, è indistinguibile da quello che dicono loro 
veramente. Mi dispiace se ho avuto una reazione esagerata.
