Still not sure?

Quote:And count me in on the side of agreeing that people have a right to own arms and to defend themselves.  The proliferation of guns IS a problem, not one that requires the disarming of all citizens but maybe rather a very careful way of making sure criminals have less easy access to them.

Actually, no, it's not.  Since the number of guns in civilians hands has skyrocketed while gun related homicides have plummeted.  I do appreciate your concession that law abiding citizens owning firearms is not a danger.

Quote:This family being targeted and killed is a tragedy.  Perhaps we could could let things cool down before we start posting "I Am Militia" videos telling us we must arm ourselves to protect our families from drug cartels in Mexico.

I am all for letting things cool down.  Apparently this isn't the case for this particular family member.  However, I don't recall you calling for such a grace period from David Hogg or Ms. Gonzalez.  Or was their CNN Townhall equally inappropriate?
