Shark rips 16-year old's arm off, he sees the glass half-full

"I can try to live my life the way I was and make an effort to do that even though I don't have an arm, or I can kind of just let this be completely debilitating and bring my life down and ruin it in a way," Treschl said. "Out of those two, there's really only one that I would choose to do and that's the first — to try to fight and live a normal life with the cards I've been dealt. This kid's statement gives me hope for the future.

For decades America has sought to stop violence of a free society by putting restrictions on guns, most recently pimping a tragedy for their benefits. The fact of the matter is that gun crimes are down historically, in fact they've been going down since the mid-1990s. And in the 1990's gun related homicides peaked just two years after the original "Assault Weapons Ban" went into effect. Pretty much proving that the ban had little if any impact on gun homicides. What we should be doing is rethinking why we have attempted to address a symptom and never the cause. Violence is prevalent in a large amount of American society but we refuse to address it. People, children are murdered daily in city streets but rarely...
