"Why encourage tragedy?
Please, no more guns in the hands of people who want to be heroes or think they can protect their families and homes. Many are shot with their own guns."
Thank heavens for cool reasonable thinkers like Sandra, she is right of course. heroes who shoot bad guys should be ashamed of themselves. After all if some policemen are bad shooters how can us untrained Hoi Polloi possibly be able to claim an expertise with weapons that some officers who are highly trained do not possess. We are lucky we haven't all been killed in our sleep by our vicious guns turning otherwise decent men women and children into slavering automatons with only death and destruction on their minds. Besides do not muggers, rapists, armed robbers and spree shooters have a right to a safe environment too, well don't they? My goodness how dare we take it upon ourselves to visit harm, death, destruction and agonizing pain on these poor miscreants. They are just doing what they have to do to survive. Allowing ourselves to be knifed raped, beaten and robbed is a small price to pay for otherwise being safe from those insidious guns.
Way to go Sandra, you are my hero. would you please send me an autographed picture of yourself, I want to put it in a place of honor.
