The reality of gun laws

Abstract:
Want gun control? Use both hands. Guns don't kill people; people kill people, and Charlton Heston's famous "from my cold dead hands." We've all heard these slogans and read them on bumper stickers, but does anyone really take the time out to think what they mean?...

Nice article.

It got into a well thought out rant at the end. But it needed something else to the ending. Like where we should take gun control in the furture. On one hand you could have more strict gun laws that make the politicians feel safer because they will have their armed gaurds while the people suffer or you can have less gun laws and make every person their own keeper. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I hope for the latter.

Wow!! I was all ready for an anti-gun piece of propaganda and was reaching for my Rolaids while hitting the enter key to take me to this column.

Imagine my surprise to read a well thought out and well constructed column on gun control. Chad, I only wish you had added Washington, DC to your list of most dangerous cities because they ban the ownership of all guns while spporting one of the highest murder rates in the country.

Nice work!!
