Places with the strictest gun control also have higher crime rates, look at New York City and Washington D.C. I had a dear friend killed at Virginia Tech on 4/16/2007 and I am not in favor of strict gun control. I like knowing I can defend myself from intruders to my home as opposed to waiting for a cop to show up and possibly being too late.
Reply:I have nothing against citizens bearing arms - that is a right guaranteed by the constitution. I do think that there needs to be some greater method of background research done before someone is allowed to get one, and there needs to be stiffer responsibilities for those that allow a weapon to be sold/obtained by someone that was found to legally not be fit to possess a weapon. If someone bypasses the system and gives a person a gun that didn't pass the background check, only for the gun to be used in a murder, then the seller should also be on trial for murder. Sellers need to be as responsible as the users of the guns.





I personally don't agree with a gun being more protection - it has been proven that individuals that have guns for protection are more likely to die during the commition of a crime against them than those without. That speaks way too much to me. And I have a 2 year old that is extremely curious and crafty - I would be too afraid for her safety having a gun in the house. But I am lucky to live in a country where that is MY choice - not something that I am forced to do.

Please tell us about the well regulated militia you belong to, since you are such a rabid proponent of the 2nd amendment.
