I'm not a gun owner. I've never held or even shot a gun. But there are more than 43 MILLION gun owners in this country, 99.9999% of which are responsible and don't intentionally murder human beings.
The actions of an extremely small number of gun owners that occur each year should not bring forth restricted gun laws, nor should they be outlawed, blah, blah, blah. |

It is somewhat ironic to me that people would rush to regulate the only tool that Kasandra Perkins could have used to save her life from Jovan Belcher.
Belcher was 6'2" tall and weighed 228 pounds. He was in peak physical condition and at least on some level, his job was violent and about imposing will on an equally large and determined man. I'm just estimating from the pictures, but Ms. Perkins appears to be about 5'2" and a soft 150 pounds. Ms. Perkins had no hope of outrunning Belcher. She had no hope of out fighting him. She was probably a full foot shorter and 80 pounds smaller. She was a woman and he was a man. Belcher was obviously committed to killing her. He shot her 9 times. 9 times rules out the possibility of an accident. He killed her with his own mother in the room. If his own mother could not stop him, then I do not believe that anything short of decisive and violent action could have. Perkins was not capable of delivering that kind of violence with her bare hands. Belcher was. So yes, guns absolutely make it easier to kill people. Sometimes that is a good thing. There is no doubt in my mind that collectively, across a country like ours, that is a good thing. |

I wouldn't be the US Army, it would be a UN "peacekeeping" force. But you could go ahead and hand them your lunch money and I'm sure everything would be fine.
