Seems especially fitting in the wake of another gun tragedy.

I'm a military historian by trade and the 'true realities of gun use' are than guns are for killing things.

Dave and I live in a country with very strict gun laws- some of the strictest in the world- and there is very little gun crime here to the extent that even a single shooting, let alone a mass shooting, is huge, front page news and it was a mass shooting of kids in Dunblane, Scotland some years back that created our present gun laws.

Well, of course guns are for killing things. ?

I lived in the UK for five years. Violence against the unsuspecting innocent takes all manner and shape in regards to weaponry.

But that's my point really- I suspect that an awful lot of people see them as something to make them feel big and powerful. I'm a soldier's daughter and know all too much of what gunpowder weapons can do to the human body.

'Violence against the unsuspecting innocent takes all manner and shape'


True.

Where there are no guns, there is knife crime.........

Well, sadly, we Americans just ain't had enough kids killed yet. Maybe we're getting there. Another few hundred kids slaughtered should do the trick, maybe.

Yeah, I'm in favor of what you guys did. No joke.

I'm also a Quaker and therefore a pacifist, so this stuff just saddens me deeply.
