This is a fact. I only ask you to keep this issue, as any, in its proper perspective. Gun control zealots usually apply a cost-benifit analysis without considering the benefit. Those comments make me sick to my stomach. If the gun wasn't there, it wouldn't have happened.
Guns can do good, or evil, depending on whose hands they reside.
Similarly, many everyday objects can be used for good or for harm. My point here is exactly that it is not difficult to secure a weapon against casual or accidental use. Check it out. I'll repeat what I've said elsewhere on this page. I received a bachelors degree, in a technical discipline, from a prestigious, private, eastern University over 15 years ago.
