I hate guns. In today's society there is no need for the average citizen to own or carry a gun except to protect yourself from those who do carry guns and intend to use them in a crime. Oh, wait! I just contradicted myself. No. I just pointed out the vicious circle created by gun advocates. They say, "Guns don't kill, people kill." I'd say you're correct. But the government and law enforcement have done a lousy job of keeping guns out of the hands of those who kill, and longer jail sentences are not the answer because that occurs after a crime has been committed.

Tighter gun control? I'll go so far as to say ban guns. That's the only way.

[<sarcasm> Putting prostitutes in jail after they commit the crime is not the answer. We need to put chastity belts on all women except when under strict police supervision. </sarcasm>

At least Ms. Solnom admits her hate. Such an admission is the first step to recovery.

Banning guns didn't make people in the U.K., Canada, or Australia safer. It didn't make people in Washington D.C. or Chicago safer. I have Just One Question for Ms. Solnom.--Joe]
