Your comments are fine, thanks for posting them. But, see how this debate makes monkeys of us all? Go back and read what I wrote. I never said anything about banning guns.

I’m amused by the news coverage of lawyers trying to interpret what the founders meant with the 2nd amendment. I don’t CARE what they meant. They never could have imagined the world we live in today. Ban or not, let’s stop reading tea leaves and decide for ourselves.

See? No harm in that. At least, that’s what I think.

I liked your post, but I take major issue with this statement.

They didn’t have cars that anybody could (and has) driven into people on the sidewalks. Do we ban cars? They also didn’t have gasoline, a highly flammable liquid for sale to anybody and could (and has) used to make explosive devices. Do we ban gasoline?

I had friends in high school that knew how to make bombs out of kitchen products. They tested them in their backyards for fun. Now, where did they learn this? Chemistry books. So do we ban books? Do we ban chemistry?

The question we should be asking is not, “How do we ban all guns?” but, “What makes these poor kids become the killers they have become?”

It is very telling these kids that did these things always attacked people they knew did not have guns. I mean, why not attack a police station? Or a gun show?

The fact is, the overwhelming majority of people that own guns are law-abiding citizens. The only ones that benefit from banning guns are criminals and disturbed people that are going to use them anyway, regardless of the law.

I especially like the Hillary point about sexism. Nothing irritates me more than to hear people say that it’s sexist, yet her campaign has used “Hillary” as the brand.
