There ARE people in America that believe in Gun control and have not sipped from the National Rifle Association's kool-aid. The story that began this thread was a hopeful story about a much braver man than the idiots that carry around guns thinking that everyone is going to be out to get them. But cynicism reigns supreme nowadays and hope is just something that was reborn.

As an illustration of the fallacy in the gun-toting arguments is the recent case where a man was shot in a movie theater for talking by a guy who claims he shot the man in self-defense. And until we can somehow bring down the gun violence in this country (perpetuated in my humble opinion by promotion from the nuts at the NRA) we have nothing we can promote about preventing crime by shooting and killing someone.
