news stories that extoll the virtues of guns will only serve to prod those who SHOULDN'T have them into getting them, I suspect.

There was an article published locally here about interviews with kids who were arguing that plain old 'fighting' was just too bothersome...if you have a beef with someone, it was just 'easier' to settle it with a gun....

lovely thinking....lets let 'em ALL have guns...we'll soon see who's top dog, huh?

yeah, I know..."but the bad guys have 'em now" ...I just do NOT think the answer is to hand out MORE guns...I think the best response is to get VERY serious about limiting guns in society...("oh, but the NRA will never allow...".....*shrug*...I'm describing what I think SHOULD happen
