People with guns kill people.

The pro-gun element tell me that people kill people. That guns don't kill people. Well, that's a technicality. Yes, people kill people. Often, with guns. Too often. People kill people, too, with bombs. And with nuclear weapons. That's why we try to stop the proliferation of weapons. Makes sense, doesn't it? If we don't have bombs to drop, then maybe we won't drop bombs. Some nations also are trying to eliminate land mines. People use land mines to maim and kill people. So how do we solve that problem? We do away with land mines. Yes, a very practical solution. We aren't gonna ever do away with guns. But we can do a better job of gun control and regulation. And that may help. Maybe it'll even reduce the number of gun deaths. --Jim Broede
