"...thought I'd share this with all of you.

What's her email address?

Doesn't sound like a very informed lady, you should educate her. Mexico has had very tight gun laws that make ours seem very liberal, but, even with that, I believe there is still crime there... Isreal I believe someone already mentioned is a place where if you are not X-military or police, you can pretty much kiss any type of weapon ownership good bye. I think there is still crime there also... Also, you can bring up China where guns are also highly regulated, still lots of crime. Huh... However you can also bring up Switzerland where every male that can actively serve in their military is required, yes I said required to have a fully automatic rifle and a pistol also I think in their home in case they are called for duty. Not kidding on that, look it up. Crime is so low, that they don't keep statistics of it. Here is a quick article on it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/1566715.stm

Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed. Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.

Look, I find it a noble idea and all, but having spent the better part of the last decade in tertiary education, you won't get anywhere arguing with the prof in class. It will be pointless, you will gain nothing, and you might make your life harder, for naught.

Swear to gods. I tried.

Now, time spent before and after class, one-on-one with your classmates... much more fruitful. Effectiveness is efficiency, max out your rate of return.

I don't believe I Advocated disrupting the class with an argument. I Simply stated that silence is not the answer.
It is my opinion that any classroom that does not advocate healthy debate of topics is simply indoctrination.

Doesn't sound like a very informed lady, you should educate her. Mexico has had very tight gun laws that make ours seem very liberal, but, even with that, I believe there is still crime there...

and the Dems would have you believe its still our fault!

Also in our lecture today, terrorism is a political statement, and she stated that the 9/11 attacks were political...

Huh...I wonder how she'd feel if she'd been in one of the towers during that "political" statement?

What school is it?

I must have missed if if you told us

That's interesting. My Speech teacher said the violence in the US is because of the media. Our news focuses only on the bad and violent things that happen, instead of good things.
