| What really needs to be done is to stop relying on someone else with a gun to come and save you. Be an American that is willing to take responsibility for your own protection. |

Awfully presumptuous. I don't think "Americans agree that gun deaths are a national crisis." Violent crime and crime involving firearms is in decline.
You can't compare automobiles and firearms.....driving is a privilege, bearing arms is a right.
I could expect no less from a policy director from someplace called "Squirrel Hill." |

All the gun control laws passed since the 1968 gun control act (and even before that) were supposed to stop unlawful use of guns. None of them have achieved their promise. What makes anyone think that more laws will work.
Gun control laws only affect law abiding citizens. The criminals, wackos and malcontents do not obey laws and will get guns regardless of the number of laws and restrictions. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
