The gun lobby’s refrain is almost mantra-like whenever anyone dares suggest a smarter approach to selling weapons that can kill indiscriminately, whether the person pulling the trigger is a responsible adult or a 2-year-old toddler. The gun lobby insists that we Americans are under constant threat of attack, and guns are the only thing that can keep us safe. Here in the real world, the vast majority of us manage to walk the streets, shop, and make it to our front doorsteps without requiring protection against vast hordes of killers. Rare are the times when armed would-be killers actually enter American homes. Rarer still are such intruders killed or sent fleeing because the home occupant is packing heat. |

| If crime is so uncommon, police should not be carrying guns either. |

Yeah .... like a fire extinguisher, you don't "need" one until you NEED one. In the "real world," some 500,000 ~ 1,000,000 people defend themselves with guns each year.
That is enough to make me happy I have a fire extinguisher --- er, gun. BOTH, actually.
The author may like La-La land, I will live in reality. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
