If you follow the news, you may have heard the story about the Oregon college shooting. Here in the Twin Cities, there was a local shooting in Chaska (not a city known for violent crime). I think that this is more proof that more guns in the hands of more people makes everyone much safer! Is President Obama right? If we are tired of the constant carnage produced by gun violence should we really start voting for gun control advocates? I'm sure there will be a lot of disagreement about that because Americans sure do love their guns. Apparently they love guns enough to ignore the daily, nightly, weekly, hourly murders taking place. We can see the news stories, but nothing ever changes. Should we really try to change this? I mean... what right do we have to try to save a lot of people from being shot to death? Is it really worth saving innocent lives if we can't all run around like cowboys packing guns? How are we going to be safe unless everybody has a gun? Nothing says safety like being paranoid, thinking you're always right and having a loaded gun at the ready! What do you think? Anybody?
