This thread ignores that most gun murders are committed by family members and acquaintances. Others die in the cross-fire. I don't deny the second amendment, but toting guns mostly just generates false security.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Think about arriving in a town where everybody is armed to the teeth. What do you think about such a place? The word "lawless" comes to mind. Far from civilization. Perhaps you are in one of the tribal territories of Pakistan? Afghanistan? A town in the middle of the Amazon? The "Wind West?" Certainly not a place where one would want to raise a family. The gun nuts want to turn the clock back on civilization. Take us back to a time when life was short, brutal, and ugly. No I won't go along with that. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
