With that stipulation in place, might it be possible to have a discussion that would be considered reasonable and compelling were the number of dead caused by any means other than guns? Is it possible to take stock of the handgun killings in the United States and at least agree that, if for no other reason than that the number is by far greater than it is anywhere else in the developed world, we should be looking for ways to reduce the killing? |

| Nice to see this writer - like every good socialist - managed to hit the "top three' of non-issues associate with 'gun violence' . All while managing to completely ignore at least three major issues all criminologists and serious social researchers cite; lack of prosecution of repeat violent crime offenders, foreign national gang activities like drug trafficking, massive illegal alien incursions, and restrictive ownership/use of firearms by private individuals. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
