And they might even be right. But it is physically impossible to "put the genie back in the bottle" so to speak. You could even say the death might have been stopped if someone else had a gun to shoot the person who shot their loved one first. Of course that doesn't address shots that either penetrate their target completely or that miss, ricochet, etc. Some of that can be addressed by using the right round for the occasion (frangible and such). What most of these people really want is to stop gangbangers and idiots from having guns. Who doesn't want that? But they will just get them from other sources, as prohibition of anything hasn't worked in this country (drugs, alcohol, etc). There's a reason why that never works, and these people just don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-40860868015863480852007-04-20T21:46:00.000-07:002007-04-20T21:46:00.000-07:00Wordsmith: you found it!LMC: you go, girl!BZWordsmith: you found it!<BR/><BR/>LMC: you go, girl!<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-14837264447552436402007-04-19T21:34:00.000-07:002007-04-19T21:34:00.000-07:00I'm going to do a comprehensive post on gun-contro...I'm going to do a comprehensive post on gun-control and I will use this as a resource.

In home invasions, the citizens are no longer allowed to protect themselves, and the bad guys know it. Same with many other types of crimes. The regular citizen becomes a tool and means for criminal gain since they have no way to defend themselves against a bullet. Much like all these students.ABFreedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979515909350208660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-15822419418347117092007-04-17T14:45:00.000-07:002007-04-17T14:45:00.000-07:00Nightcrawler: yes -- and spared the victims of Cha...Nightcrawler: yes -- and spared the victims of Charles Whitman, Luby's, Columbine, etc etc etc.<BR/><BR/>ONE well placed round in the brain pan.<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-13221650141304261522007-04-17T13:57:00.000-07:002007-04-17T13:57:00.000-07:00When my wife and I were in the gun store today, sh...When my wife and I were in the gun store today, she started to blame the guns for the terrible tragedy at VT.
