Same old tired liberal anti-gun tripe. I'll try and respond to some of the points directly: 1)The public wants more gun control. True if the question is put like that. If you ask "Do we need more than 22,000 gun control laws" most will say no. 2) The majority is represented by the Brady Bunch. Then why do 39 states now have "shall issue" laws which provide any responsible citizen with a means to legally carry a concealed weapon? Did all of those state legislators go against the wishes of their constituents? The Brady Bunch represents myopic urban liberals who think …

We know several other women friends who shoot. None of them are lacking in femininity. Your tired "if one life is saved" mantra is based on faulty logic. It overlooks the millions, literally, of lives that would be …

"wscott52, thank you for your kind advice, but my idea of education doesn�t include gun ownership, as it doesn�t include living in fear" No? You have resigned yourself to living like a victim? Here's a newsflash for you: bad things happen to good people. There are people roaming the streets who have no regard for the rule of law or even civilization. More specifically, they have no regard for your life or health if they decide something of yours should be theirs. They will kill or maim you for laughs even after you have meekly submitted and offered them everything of …
