Subject: RE: BS: 'From my cold, dead hands' farewell
Just because Heston makes a bonehead of himself doesn't mean the rest of responsible gun-owners are that way. I have my own theory about fire-arm related violence, which you may read elsewhere in this thread.

FWIW, I don't apologize for my views, either. I think the murders at Columbine were unspeakable tragedy, but responsible gun-owners had nothing to do with it. Those two boys broke 20 existing gun laws if they broke one. Likewise, the parents of the child shooter of Kayla Rolland clearly weren't responsible. No law in the world can change that.

Germany and China may have lower gun-related violence than us, but if someone is out to so ill it can be done with a stick, blade, rope or any number of everyday items. People will simply finnd other way to kill. That's a sad hard fact.
