| 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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
