We are getting bombarded over here with anti-gun rants from everyone from the Mayor of NYC to the media elites during our Sunday Gridiron Football games! We need to address the facts that since 1980 the mentally ill have not been treated in a controlled manner. We have 260 children killed in gun violence in Chicago Illinois in one year. Not a peep. Chicago Illinois like Connecticut have some of the most stringent gun laws on their books. The bad people will always get their hands on the guns.Natalie-Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000623711182876763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-53965865163718828562012-12-17T02:03:40.528+00:002012-12-17T02:03:40.528+00:00 On our side of the pond, jurisdictions wi... On our side of the pond, jurisdictions with the most restrictive gun laws have the highest crime rates. People who legally carry behave responsibly, probably more so,than the police in many jurisdictions.<br /> Stricter gun laws here are unlikely after Al Gore lost because of his gun-grabber advocacy.renminbinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-12673717278127206612012-12-16T12:23:33.390+00:002012-12-16T12:23:33.390+00:00Opsimath,

Whatever we do, we will never eliminate the human propensity for evil - that is the hard thing to grasp - and, in my opinion, an impossible thing to grasp without faith - of one kind or another.<br /><br />An excellent piece, as your work invariably is.opsimathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-45123596144147807912012-12-15T16:02:40.715+00:002012-12-15T16:02:40.715+00:00I must admit that my first reaction was that if th...I must admit that my first reaction was that if there was greater gun control this awful tragic event would never have happened. However the libertarian part of me was in turmoil as it dawned on me that maybe I was wrong in my very liberal anti regulation and anti government intervention beliefs and that perhaps I should join the more power to the state and ban everything brigade. However your article has helped me to restore my faith and convince me that only when we have the restoration of personal responsibility will we see a return to less insane actions by our fellow human beings (to put it simply as I know it is somewhat more complex than that).Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
