No doubt some if not many Americans are brave guys in my mind.... If we had a gun in the house. The wife would probably shoot me.

It still is odd to me that the use of knives seems to have been increasing steadily. Just somethig I have observed. Even the guy that slammed into the barricade exited his car with a knife.

To me this indicates the state of minds may be changing. A knife is an up close and personal weapon. Where guns tend to be personal extensions of power.

I look at many events and have to wonder what the level of intelligence is. In almost all cases nothing is really changed. Almost all are driven by frustation. Or they would use guns.
