Over on mine we talk about guns quite a lot. I've been exploring the connection between the insistence on gun availability on the part of the legal gun owners and the gun violence that is so often in the news. For one thing, all the guns in the criminal world started out legal. When you're talking about hundreds of millions of weapons, the percentage that trickles into the nether world is significant. Anyway, these are the kinds of things we often discuss on my blog. Dear Scott, I like your blog very much. Over on mine we talk about guns quite a lot.

I will say that I am extremely pro-gun, but as you point out the politics isn't the issue. I will add, that while even if guns were as easy to obtain as a bottle of water there are just some people that shouldn't be carrying them. This applies not only to those which have proven their stupidity, but also those that are not commited to the idea of using deadly force to defend thenmselves. Those in this latter group are at risk of having thier weapon used on them as well as using the weapon in a situation that doesn't call for deadly froce to be used. So to echo earlier seniments, TO EACH HIS/HER OWN I, like the other two comments here agree with you as well.

I agree with you too. Like you, I would rather have the ability to protect myself than not, but I say to each his own. :) Robert Oatman, thanks for your comment! I agree with you too.

Gun control works great on the honest people. But I dont think an armed robber is going to take time out to register his gun. Great point about people exercising thier right in thier own way which "we as a society" might see stupid. Just cause the majority thinks its right doesn't mean thats the best way for everyone! I would much rather have the right to arm myself against those that plan on breaking the law. Then taking everyones guns away cause some owners aren't responsible. Cause I kill someone with an AK47 does that make all owners of AK47s murders ?????? Scott I couldn’t agree with you more. Gun control works great on the honest people.
