I recently heard a co-worker say her husband admitted he wanted an AK-47 because he liked the idea of having one of the very best assault rifles, that it would be like owning a Porsche and that firing it would be so great. An intern who worked with my daughter expressed surprise that she had never been to a firing range and said she should go, that firing a gun is so much fun. Another colleague also talked about the joys of going to a firing range and owning an arsenal of weapons. None of these people was talking about gun ownership for self-defense purposes. Instead, it was about “fun.” Why should the public’s safety be at the mercy of this mind-set? Mr. King was right. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
