Thoughts About Guns

Gun Control

Gun Control

It’s totally embarrassing how long it took me to figure out why my daughter posted this picture on FaceBook. While I’ve never owned a gun and probably never will I sleep better at night knowing that the potential threat of action from 99% of the possessors of guns in our population – the “good guys” – keep the threat of the actions from the 1% of the population who are “bad guys” at bay. Give me a choice between a veteran with an automatic weapon and a criminal with one and I’ll take the veteran every time. Tell me we need to take all guns off the street and I’ll tell you that you’re more than a little naive. You’re bordering on really, really stupid. While I’ve never felt the need to own a gun, I do hope the “good guys” never give theirs up and that my government, as misguided as it is, never falls prey to the argument made by the misguided dupes of the bad guys that people don’t kill people – guns do. Ban all weapons and the bad guys will laugh all the way to the stash house after they take your money at gunpoint.
