We can t even get our legislators to pass a trigger lock law. In fact there currently is a proposal before Congress to allow people to carry concealed weapons. The majority of us don t want to own a handgun. We have a police force to protect us. If the police aren t doing their jobs, fix that problem.
Guns are a separate problem.
I am a woman, a mother, a teacher. My role has been to nurture, so it s easy for me to say I no more want a gun around than I d keep a bottle of poison in the cabinet. Those men, who don t like the idea of guns proliferating like cockroaches, are less vocal than the should be. It s that outdated frontier mentality that a red-blooded American male needs a gun to protect his family and to not own a gun is to be a wimp. What s more important, their right to have a gun or the Colorado teenagers right to live.
