On the day of the tragic shooting at Terminal 2 at the Fort Lauderdale airport on Jan. 6, I had the misfortune of listening to right-wing talk radio during a long drive.

In any particular incident, a gun might not be the answer. A terrorist wearing an explosive vest armed with a "deadman's switch," for example .... shoot him and BOOM! It's over for everyone.
But what do you get when you ban guns?
"Go on your shooting spree here" zones is what you get. The criminals DO NOT OBEY THE LAWS!!! THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L-S!!

TO REMEMBER |
| To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege. [Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)] |
