Richmond, Va., Exile-land: Speeding car is stopped. Why, it's a policeman's cocaine addict girlfriend and her cocaine addict brother, both convicted felons. They have two of the cop's guns in the console of the car; one, a cocked semi-auto, happens to be pointing at the 7-year-old daughter in the back seat, says the paper. The unnamed officer is on two weeks military duty out of town.
Gun control -- for SOME.

"One gets a feeling of power and carelessness, and that can end up with someone wounded or killed."

emphasis added

And this is the reason they sleep in a cell and I sleep in my home with my guns. When I'm behind a gun I do understand the power that I have, but I also understand the responsibility that I have to myself, my family, and to every other gun owner - all of whom I represent. This creates feelings of respect, discretion, and self-awareness, as well as a hightened degree of caution and awareness of those around me - lest I endanger them through careless action. With that power, as with every freedom, comes responsibility.

Those feelings of carelessness when in possession of such power reflect of a lack of respect for human life and for other persons, and that is the root of the problem - not the gun.

Of course, the academics are either unable to see that - in which case one must question their intelligence - or unwilling to acknowledge it - in which case one must question their integrity. Or both. Either way, it sounds as if some of the writers wish that guns were harder to get so they woulndn't have been as likely to commit their crimes, rather than pondering how their actions affect others. It just shows that they aren't really learning anything after all, but I guess that's what you can expect from the system that needs these guys to exist to justify its own appetite for power.
