tripe. back to guns commit crimes. some of the anti-gun folks seem to imply that the "gun" is like some kind of magical thing..black magic..and will warp the soul of all who touch it! ACTUALLY, the so-called "assault rifle" is involved in very few crimes...last time I checked it was well under even 1%...and, if this same guy with the AK had been armed with a decent pistol or 2 and reasonably skilled in their use, he could have done the very same damage..(you know what the anti-gunners will say to that..take them all then!)..the anti-gunners take limited anecdotal evidence, such as the Tyler incident..and try to cast it as some kind of universal rule....it is fallacious reasoning and unsupported in the empirical evidence. (in fact the eivdenc eindicates violent crime in Canada, Australia and England WAY up since strict guns laws enacted) From my point of view if a couple of the local citizens had had a decent rifle/carine in their vehicles this jerk's shooting spree would have been a good bit shorter.....it was NOT
law enforcement who stopped the Jame's or the Youngers...or the Dalton's...it was the armed citizen. Sure, people can abuse firearms...people can abuse butter... it does not mean all must be banned and all reasonable people prohibited...to withdraw rights and confiscate property because less than 1% abuse something is not a reasonable path for a freedom loving people....especially when it appears it does not work anyway!
