re: #244 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I appreciate the desire for a gun, I just don’t think it’s very important compared to the safety implications. The ‘self-defense’ argument is what I’m particularly talking about, since most people do not have any need of a gun for self-defense.

I wonder how many people actually know crime rates have plummeted?

Okay, wishing lots of people would get rid of the guns is fine of course. There is so much overlap between defensive and sporting use and there are so many guns out there already…. Do you support or oppose the handling & safety training I suggested above for those teachers and janitors you mentioned that would volunteer to attend?
