What is this Journal? This journal is a personal journal of mine which contains my opinions, likes, dislikes and snapshots of my life.
The journal is written for myself first and in an effort to stave off my depression second. If anyone else reads the journal then it is a real bonus.
As a journal it is to be taken as a whole but best dipped into.
I feel a disclaimer is needed for my journal(s) as there will be those out there who will not read the journal how it is meant to be read.
So here is the disclaimer in so much that this journal expresses my own personal views and opinions of the world not that of a company or other persons so if some of the facts are plain wrong it is because of my own ignorance and lack experience of the world and nothing else more sinister.
A Fine Line to Tread!

Any sensible person in any society knows that weapons and society do not mix be it guns, knives and the such and know weapons always lead to violence even outside of the criminal fraternity!
So as a society they put in place controls on the weapons both legally and as a society as a whole in so much society as a whole demeans it unacceptable to carry such weapons. Those who break this rule are punished by the legal system with the full support of society has a whole.
In these societies weapon control works because society as a whole backs it, though like anything it is not fool proof but certainly reduces the effect of the weapons on society in general.
But when a society, as in United States, who are unwilling to give up the weapons to a point of justifying the carrying of the weapons they have crossed a fine line which weapon control is simply not going to work mainly because they accept the presence of weapons in their society.
They may make the right noises when innocents are killed using weapons within their society but they are unwilling to remove the cause because they are unwilling to give up the weapon which did the killings.
If as a society is unwilling to get rid of these weapons as a whole they are going to have to accept that such killings are going to happen. It is hard thing to say but history bares this out time and time again!
