We Failed The Test.

        There's something I don't quite understand. It just doesn't  make sense. If guns make us safer, then how is it that we keep hearing about more and more gun violence? More people are getting killed, more innocent people are getting killed by guns. But of course guns don't kill people, people kill people, so okay, more innocent people are getting killed by people using guns.
       The point is, more guns isn't making us safer, more guns are endangering us more and more. So if it was a social experiment, then more guns is a dismal failure. And if more guns has been a failure, then it stands to reason that fewer guns just might be a success. There's a better than even chance that fewer guns well save a lot of people's lives.
       Of course the next thing you'll hear is that I want to take all your guns away from you. NOT TRUE! I assure you I don't have room for all your guns. But it wouldn't hurt if fewer guns were so readily available to folks who shouldn't have them. Of course no rule or law will eliminate all danger. It's silly to suggest that's what we're saying. We'd just like to tone things down some. Make it harder for people who want to kill other people to get a gun. That's all we're saying. Then we can see how that does. Given time, I'm convinced it'll help. It surely wouldn't hurt.
       Just remember, the constitution won't allow anyone to take all your guns. So quit acting like somebody is trying to sneak into your armory to take all your protection away. If you're a law abiding citizen, keep your guns. Just help us to keep guns away from those who shouldn't have them in the first place. That's not unreasonable, is it?
