"The question that the whole world asks is this: Why was a 9-year-old girl allowed even to try to shoot a submachine gun? I have a further question: Why does anybody not on the front lines of the military in a war zone need to have access to a submachine gun? ... What kind of country have we become? Was this what the Founding Fathers had in mind?"
Another bromidic
gun control article by an author who lacks the most elementary knowledge of
firearms. Current FBI statistics reveal that handguns account for ten times the
number of homicides as assault rifles. True, assault rifles have a sick cache
that appeals to a certain kind of person (I have never met a combat veteran who
wanted one), but a deer hunting rifle is more powerful and accurate than an
assault rifle. Regardless, if you want to seriously reduce gun violence, you go
after hand guns. I can see a majority of American women getting behind hand gun
control if the movement is well organized. I would add that the best “well-regulated
militia” article is by WWII combat veteran, U Penn professor and author, Paul
Fussell.
