This one's on the way to (already approved) the presses (in a rabidly lib paper, no less):
It's encouraging that some of our elected officials have proceeded with common sense and honesty on the recently proposed gun-control bills. Many of us associate ***** with a culture of guns. ***** suffers from a culture of crime. A gun-culture is where gun owners are disciplined, responsible and courteous.
No gun-control laws exist that will prevent criminals from using a gun to commit a crime. Violent criminals are simply not deterred by gun regulations.
Every new restriction not only creates more bureaucracy that takes time and resources away from patrolling the streets, but also makes the black market more profitable. Now is the time to stop responding to crime by trying to take firearms away from those who didn't do it. Then real leaders can begin to implement real solutions which include bringing opportunities to the city that are more attractive than a life of predatory desperation.
