As much as people try to claim otherwise, there is no connection
between guns and increases in violence.

The random acts of a few nut cases who are intent on killing people
are not a reason to enact more gun control.


If they were, we'd have to ban gasoline, fertilizer, cars,
sticks, and a few other things.

BTW - case in point - I don't recall the 9/11 hijackers using
guns.
