What good an impersonal gun be if there are no bullets? But for knives they are more personal effective at close range.

Yes, but guns can be effective without bullets if you don't know it's without bullets. I see a gun and I'm giving over my cash. I see a knife and I'm running like Hell.

Would you run if you know the knife is made of plastic?

[Profpat]

Hell yes. In fact I'm running if someone demands my money with or without a knife. If he has a gun however I'm giving him my money. No way I can outrun a bullet. And I'm not going to take the chance that the gun is not loaded. I'll assume it is.

But responsibility will always catch you in the end. Just ask Detroit's Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

Excess responsibilities will drive anyone crazy or do things they regret later. Double responsibility at home and at the office drove many to drink, to smoke, to cheating on their spouses. But some people can take on multiple responsibilities and for them they must have multiple personalities.

We are only responsible for our own ACTIONS. No more, no less.
