mark renton wrote: » I didnt say ban murder, I suggested to ban guns. We have a ban on guns here. In this country there is also a black market for guns. Criminals usually kill each other with these guns, we do not have mass murders of innocent people. By my calculation it seems the open availability of guns contributes to mass murders of these innocent people.

Tor + bitcoins are a popular way for anyone to get their hands on illegal items and even short of that, there are plenty of examples of people killing lots of other people without guns....like starting a fire or building a bomb out of commonly available materials. In fact, the worst school killing in the United States didn't involve guns at all.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

BARACK OBAMA took the presidential oath today, officially beginning his second term of office. The president was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts during a brief ceremony with his family in the White House Blue Room, meeting the legal requirement that presidents officially take office on January 20.Due to the date falling on a Sunday this year, the traditional ceremonies surrounding the start of a president’s term will take place on Monday. Obama made no special remarks at the ceremony, though he responded to a remark from one of his daughters, saying, “I did it”. On Monday, he will repeat the oath and give his inaugural speech on the steps of the US Capitol before hundreds of thousands of people.
