  A More Perfect Union, A More Perfect World

  Are you people insane?  Giving everyone a gun is not the right answer!  Controlling who gets to bear arms and making sure weapons don't fall into the wrong hands, by means of gun trafficing is what needs to be done!  Although Sudan is different as it is primarily the government arming the Janjaweed.  We need more helicopters and more peace keepers in Darfur right away, we need Canada & the US to get in there right away - enough is enough.  For over 5 years we have let this go on and it makes me sick.  al-Bashir needs to be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity and should never see the light of day for the rest of his life, for he is as bad as Hitler.  As for a lot of your comments about guns, I respectfully and passionately disagree.  Think of your neighbours to the North and South for instance.  According to: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita the US ranks #24 on the murders per capita list and have the right to bear arms, #6 is MEXICO (whose policies are stricter than the US) but are none the less still able to bear arms, CANADA is #44 (we are aloud to bear arms but under strict regulations) and almost no one here carries gun.  People have hunting rifles under lock and key in their homes, if they are hunters.  No civilian, under any circumstance should be carrying a handgun and police officers should leave theirs at work.  They shouldn't even make them, as their sole purpose is for killing people.  If no one had a gun, people would have to resolve to the old fashion fist fight to settle an argument and far fewer people would be die.  I could argue this point for days, but wrapping up with Sudan, if the Janjaweed were stripped of their firearms and al-Bashir replaced we would be on the right track.  They rape and plunder because it is easy and the governement is giving them free reign.  Giving everyone a gun is not even an option and in my opinion is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.
