Gun Control & RKBA

"I wish no one were armed, but because practically everyone else is, I have a gun myself."

This flawed logic flows from a false premise. What gun ever jumped out of its holster and stopped a bullet?
Escalation of a situation is the best that can happen and the results often take the lives of innocent bystanders.
This writer ignores so many things:
- It's not safe to shoot guns in populated areas, period.
- One day they'll die. Then what happens to those guns? Are they sold to who-knows-who, by disinterested family members? Or kept loaded on your nephew's kitchen table next to the vodka?
- They can be stolen.
- No one is immune to mental illness. No one.

The arrogance, vanity, and childish fantasies of American gun owners must end. Man up and live like the people in all the other developed countries in the world: without a damn gun!

And if the 2nd Amendment is so awesome, so necessary, here's a challenge: prepare your pitch to the French Parliament. Convince them that they're doing it wrong, and we're doing it right. You may want to avoid the numbers, the stats, the shredded torsos of schoolchildren, in your pitch.
