"In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, the [NRA] proposed putting more guns in schools. After a racist shot up a Charleston prayer group, an NRA board member argued for more guns in church. And now predictably, politicians and gun rights advocates are calling for guns in movie theaters after a loner killed two people at a theater in Louisiana."
"The notion that more guns are always the solution to gun crime is taken seriously in this country. But the research shows ... that guns are rarely used in self-defense."
"Now a new study from researchers at Mount St. Mary's University sheds some light ... As it turns out, knowing when and how to apply lethal force in a potentially life-or-death situation is really difficult." ... |

If I ever get in a defensive gun situation, I guess that I will have to kill the perpetrator instead of holding him for the police or else it won't count as a defensive gun use. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
