...Or an S.U.V. driven into a crowd! Let's have S.U.V. control too.
It's NOT the weapon - it's the fool with the weapon who needs to
be controlled. Take the gun rights from responsible owners and the
only ones with guns are the thugs and the cops (same IMO). The
intruder who entered my home 13 years ago lost his left arm to a
well placed .45 acp round. He entered my home while my wife, my
young son, and I were all sleeping. He had a knife, mace, duct tape
and bad intentions. I'm glad I had my 1911.
Rubbish!
an SUV is designed as a vehicle, if misused it can cause death or injury.
A gun is designed to kill people... that's it's job.
Why would any sane person want something in his house designed to kill?
I just don't understand the thinking behind it.
There are more injuries in the USA in a day due to guns than in a year in the UK where it is difficult for a member of the public to legally obtain a gun
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
