“Would banning firearms reduce murder and suicide?”
What with all the calls to do just that, and all the laws building up to it, that sounds like a fair question.
"A Fair Question," my November 2007 Rights Watch column for GUNS Magazine, is now online.
The argument, of course, is based on the presumption that banning firearms is possible. Even then, complete disarmament is not the actual goal.
ReplyDeleteSo if someone is making that argument, they are saying one thing and doing another.
David,
ReplyDeleteYet another excellent column!! It seems there are as many studies and research being done to prove gun controls do NOT work,as there are people(putting it nicely) against gun owners and guns in general. I just don't comprehend all the gun-grabbers who don't get it.Are they lacking that much education and common sense? Do they truly NOT care about truth? And are they that ignorant of our country's history to not know or care what the Founding Fathers went through,with guns, to secure their Freedom,and that many of the anti's are acting EXACTLY like the oppresive tyrants we escaped from to begin with.Geez!!!
