Guns

When you hear about the low rates of gun crime in European countries, you might think we're the only ones struggling with this issue. I agree with this editorial that covers how the issue is more wide-spread.

I don't really feel the need to own a gun. Never have. But when I read stuff like this from the National Rifle Gun Manufacturers Association I really think about getting one just to protect myself from right wing extremists. I mean, seriously. It bugs me that we use war language for political sound bites. It bothers me more when gun people like LaPierre do it.
