Gun Control -- thinking small

Posted by David Hardy · 26 December 2005 08:47 PM

An op-ed in WashPo, by a supporter of gun control, raises the point I've made earlier: "But what troubles me most is that the gun control lobby is pouring its resources into battles that probably won't save many lives -- and we're losing even those. ..." The author (who favors handgun prohibition) points out that waiting periods, suits against gun manufacturers, etc. are (even if you assume gun control works) not going to change things measurably.

Wow. Lots of misinformation in that column, but the best is that she calls for a national handgun ban, all the while ignorant of the fact that the Brady Campaign's "end game" is obviously such a ban, despite their propaganda to the contrary.

"Lots of misinformation in that column"

Indeed. "Handguns aren't safe enough"???? It would seem the gun-grabbers have yet to disabuse themselves of the notion that a gun kills people all by itself. I would like to think most people know that misinformation is the gun prohibitionists' stock in trade, though I may be a bit too optimistic there...

So we still don't know anything about the circumstances of this event. crime or justifiable homicide? This sounds like the same twisted liberal thinking that wanted to award our recently executed murderer the Nobel prize for writing children's books and "reforming" his sorry self. My heart goes out to someone that loses a loved one. No mention was made of law enforcement's involvement. Perhaps the victims were perpretrating a crime?
