"Oh good grief ! I have always lived in rough areas . In one city , Alburquerque , a drug deal went sour 10 feet fom where I slept , and a guy had his head blasted away by a shotgun . Where I worked , less than a block away , a gunner massacred everyone in a video rental place . I was even obliged to ferry a guy with a slash on his throat to an ER , I did n't know the stupid beast , I was scared to death , but I felt it my Christian duty ( even though I am not a Christian ) to get the guy to where he could get treatment . And I do n't own a damned gun because I am not chicken-hearted ."
"Well then move out of the rough areas . Stop staying in them like some battered spouse who ca n't seem to break the cycle of abuse and leave their partner . Stop whining about how bad life is because there are guns in America . Imagine how much better if would be if the drug dealers and mass murderers were n't allowed to walk the streets as if they owned them ."
