If Guns Don't Kill, Why Send Guns to War? Why Not Just Send People?

[This Sunday marks the 10-year anniversary of one of the seminal quotes in firearm injury prevention]. Ozzy Osbourne, 49, helped originate horror-inspired, teen-mayhem rock. He's currently on tour with "Ozzfest '98." Q: What do you make of the recent epidemic of violent youth? A: America doesn't need as many guns! I keep hearing this [expletive] thing that guns don't kill... [New York Times Magazine, via gunpolicy.org ]

An interview with a 98% fried out musician. I'm surprised he could form a coherent sentence for the story. That's where I'm going to take my lead on gun control.....

Ozzy must think before guns were invented, no one ever died in a war.

Weapons have always been present....for hunting, killing, protection, etc. They used to send people to war without them and people still got killed.

Sure criminals with guns in America is an issue....shouldn't the bigger issue be curbing the youth from acting on their stupid impulse thoughts of violence. If little jimmy wants to kill 8 other kids at his school im sure he might choose a gun....but if his grandpa doesnt have a gun im sure hel just use a knife instead.

If both sides sent guns ONLY to the war, no one would die.

Yup, the Romans never actually killed anyone. They just roughed 'em up a bit.
Ozzie's a friggin' genius.
