Gregory Gibson’s son was killed in 1992 during a shooting at Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington, Mass. In 2014, after decades of work with gun violence prevention groups, Mr. Gibson bought a 9-millimeter Sig Sauer P320 and began learning to shoot. In the essay “A Gun Killed My Son. So Why Do I Want to Own One?” Mr. Gibson walks readers down his path to becoming a gun owner and his quest for clarity in the debate around guns in America. |

I sympathize with Mr. Gibson, but by my lights he's too 'reasonable' in his exchanges with obviously misguided people (undoubtedly Democrats).
Fundamental rights are unalienable. Bearing arms is a fundamental right.

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
