Guns have done horrendous damage in the last 3 weeks.
On November 6 a well armed army Major shot and killed 13 people with a handgun, one of whom was a police officer, in Fort Hood, Texas. The shooter had had contact with a radical cleric. Last Friday in Washington State, a derranged criminal, also armed with a hand gun, essentially executed 4 cops. He had a long long criminal record and was, apparently, being sought by the authorities. All of this in the year that the Supreme Court essentially freed all guns from local contral.
Does anybody care about this? If these two had easy access to hand guns, anybody, including ex cons, lunatics and terrorists will have the same accesss, and who then will be safe? It seems that there is a far greater chance of being gunned down in the street than there is of dying from a terrorist attack. The only use of a hand gun is to kill people; making them readily available to anyone who wants one is insanity.
