Do we really want shootouts in public places? Even well-trained law-enforcement professionals miss far more often than they hit their targets, injuring or killing bystanders. Think of what would happen if students whipped out guns in classrooms, or viewers in darkened theaters, or shoppers in a mall.
Is there any reasonable justification for military-style weapons in the hands of the public? Handguns or rifles for hunting or target shooting, maybe, but automatic or semiautomatic weapons? |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
