It's all down to something Mr. Booth often talked about. Munny! It's also down to 'scaremongering'. You need a gun to protect yourself from other people with guns just like in the days of Jesse James. There's no point in trying to argue about it with any Republican and tell them a civilized society can exist without the need for everyone to own an AR-15. They just look at you as if you are stupid. I guess 14 kids wouldn't be dead now if they had been armed

BTW Brin - it's not every other week, those are just the ones you hear about. It's more like 2-3 per day.
