I ran across a question....

reading through Joe Huffmans old blog posts http://blog.joehuffman.org/2004/12/15/JustOneQuestion.aspx and this was it:

Can you demonstrate one time or place, throughout all history, where the average person was made safer by restricting access to handheld weapons?

Can you? The CDC couldn't in this report:

I think we need to continue returning to this point when people consistently call for more and more control.

It is certainly easy to find examples where people were endangered by more gun control, with virtually every episode of genocide precursed by arms control.

Keep at it, and eventually people begin to realize that those who propose gun control have no leg to stand on!!

Jeff is not really a blogger or a reader of blogs, but I think he would love to get reading yours. We have these discussions that you blog about daily. I am definitely learning a lot!

By the way, does Lori have a blog yet? Give me a heads up is she does. I need to keep in touch with her better!
