As the sound of 12-gauge shotguns becomes increasingly — and ironically — soothing, American politics is seemingly the last thing on anyone’s mind. And it’s almost beautiful the way that something so politically divisive can bring people together. There’s no denying that this is a part of our culture even in a suburb of the most liberal city in the nation.
On the other hand, I’ll admit that as I look around at the various shooting stations, I certainly can’t say I believe that nights like these are worth the deaths of thousands of Americans every year. But I also can’t say that these people are the root of the problem. |

| Could embracing responsible gun owners be a part of the solution? How about Eddie Eagle in K - 3, and licensed permit holders at state universities? This is a clear case of freedom = greater safety. |

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
